It's just /k/ autism.
The flicking wrist motion method of opening/closing a revolver with a swing out cylinder is bad for it.
The cylinder weighs more than the crane arm, thus doing this a lot (as in, this being your habit for reloading), will slowly bend/deform the crane over time.

Consequences of this include the gun getting troublesome to open/close, the cylinder not being quite perfectly aligned with the barrel, thus affecting accuracy, possibly spitting excess lead shavings and gas out of the gap between the cylinder and barrel, and possibly even causing a catastrophic failure.

It doesn't matter for a raygun in Doom though.
