Needless to say they shouldn't be used in a game anyhow.

HA!....you've never seen me play or seen the state/condition of my stuff. What an asinine, useless comment.
I've dropped a "40mm grenade" (120rnd shower shell) on the floor of my basement (which happens to be concrete) and the impact bent the rim and put a nice scratch on the body of the shell.
Containers that are made up of multiple pieces that are screwed together and are intended to hold gas at high pressures don't normally hold up too well to repeated impact shock for very long.
Cosmetic scratches or wear would be an expected result of normal use. But it's a shame to mess up brand new pretty things just for the hell of it.
Real steel shotguns are ejecting spent shells to clear the action and to prep for another shell to feed. There's nothing in the design of a shotgun's ejection that attempts to preserve the integrity of the shell....and whereas real spent shells are disposable and retain little to no residual value, these are obviously different in those regards.
The sarcasm of my question that was lost on you was that these things are so realistic, and used in such a realistic manner that I bet a high percentage of new owners of them promptly racked the slides of their shotgun back after shooting it and sent their very pretty, new, and relatively very expensive shell sailing out of the gun to the crash on the floor.
I don't see too many (some, but by far not the majority of people) drop their rifle and pistol mags when they're empty and continue on (most will recover them and stow them as in a tactical reload)...same with shot/shower shells, most don't just dump their 40mm's wherever they fall, but rather retain them as they reload. Bit hard to do that as you jack a round out of a shotgun...at the very least it's quite distracting and breaks focus significantly.
