Oddly enough, tabletop games aren't able to quite show off how dangerous or deadly things can be. It's why in WW2 video games, rifles have a combat range of like 20 feet.
I take those ranges to be the limits of effective accuracy. The actual projectile flies much farther,but loses accuracy beyond that point. Basically, by the 40k era, melee weapon technology became so advanced that there was no desire to restore/improve long range weapon tech.
