For me it's because we still don't actually really know how the gun or the form even really works, we get no new information from the close ups and it completely breaks the flow of the fight. Those close ups exist entirely for the sake of 'BUY THIS BUY THIS BUY THIS'. It's such a shame in such an otherwise fantastically written and realised series we still have to stoop to these lows.

I felt the same when in earlier episodes we got a string of episodes involving atrociously animated CG bikes and mech things, which one again served no real purpose in the show, they just created new money making opportunities for those with money behind this. But at least the writers were smart enough to remove them pretty much entirely once the contract had had its fill of advertising quotas, so can't we do the same and just stop with the close ups now?
