It was made to arm people for whom there weren't better alternatives. In real life sentry removal with a knife is quieter, it is also significantly riskier than just shooting someone.
The RAW for this is based on measurable quantities (decibel levels) and seems reasonable.
What isn't realistic here is the high damage for melee weapons.
