Basically, it's a semi-auto quick-load feature to massively reduce the crossbow's reload time. A revolver, with customisable payloads, means that she could have either a large load of conventional rounds or load a special round, rotate the cylinder so that it is next to fire and is ready to go! That wasn't what was confusing me. It was more of a 'why that?'. I feel like firing and whacking with the weapon at the same time will be a theme.
