One might fuck it up trying to remove the mag tupe using pliers because if the glue though, and I agree with it being a pain in the ass to accessories.
You shouldn't use pliers to get it out. Generally you shouldn't need to or try to yank those from any shotgun. We get them out with a heatgun and a rubber gripper, but usually avoid it - an hour of work on an 88 generally exceeds the price of a new one.
It's indeed for bird hunting. And pumps are far superior for that because you can have a total of three at that point, as well as a much less expensive gun. Only disadvantage is a single choke, but I get the idea few people really understand how those work anyway.
I would be more concerned with getting a follow-up shot if you fuck up the first one. Most double-barrels are quicker to follow up with than a pump-action. And if you can't get even one clean hit on a bird that's flying away with two shots, you really don't deserve a third. :V
Depending on the design, a skilled user (different from competent) can usually get three shots out of a pump just as fast as you can with an O/U or SxS, and you don't need to shift your grip to do so. Single trigger guns are typically a bit better than doubles for this, but IMO the only real advantage is having access to two different patterns depending on the circumstance.
Not to mention O/Us are stupid pricey for what you get, and generally don't fit both tall people and lefties, of which I am both. Maybe I'm just prejudice.
