Why can't blast weapons snap fire?

"BBDA Cleeeeeeeear...."

So this is bugging me for some reason.

A horde of Orks is charging. The choppas are swinging with murderous intent. They're only a few metres away, time for a split-second reaction only. The tactical marines fire their bolters and plasma-gun from the hip. They hope the indiscriminate hail of shells will kill an Ork or two.

And what does the dude with a missile launcher do? Whistles Dixie to himself while he carefully loads a krak round into his launcher, and tries for a headshot with an antitank weapon. What the hell, missile launcher dude?
