Some elephant hunters did not like the sound of the ejectors ping. They thought the elephants could hear the ping of the ejectors thus pinning down the location of the hunter easily.

Pondoro Taylor railed against ejectors. He said you fired one shot and you want to go in after the animal with both barrels loaded but when you break the gun open to top it off it clears out both rounds including the loaded one leaving you an empty gun. He says guys have been killed because of this by being charged right at the inopportune time when the gun was empty

When you shoot a single round only the fired round ejects. That is why the ejector is split and each side has its individual mechanism.
