why does "dpm" matter?

in what world does reloading first matter? most of the time when 2 people shoot each other, they will both back up behind whatever rock or building they came from until they are done reloading. when the first one is done reloading, he pulls forward signaling that he is ready to shoot again. once the second person is done reloading, he pulls out and they shoot each other again. it doesnt matter who reloads faster because they are only gonna pop out and shoot when both of them are reloaded

and if you are in an open area with nothing to hide behind, chances are you will be dead before you can reload. or your enemy will be dead before you can reload
