Did your instructor happen to mention why you may want or need a functioning weapon? If so, the time factor should be glaringly obvious. If not, I'll spell it out for you:
In the Real Military, at some point, there is a really good chance that real people will be firing real bullets at you and trying their very best to really kill you. If your weapon breaks, you'll want to fix it really fast. It would really suck to get killed because your $6.00 extractor broke and you found yourself in a firefight with a club for a weapon.
