[Men in Black] What purpose does the noisy cricket serve?

It seems like an absurdly impractical weapon in every sense, why would it be issued to a fresh agent on his first mission?

The noisy cricket is a hugely strong, but extremely compact weapon. Agent J's training was accelerated at all stages through necessity and it was felt that he needed a weapon that he could have on him at all times, as he was unfamiliar with the capabilities of all alien species. He needed something that he could have in a pocket, pull out quickly and it would finish the job in one shot.  

The kickback which we've seen is easily eliminated by a fully trained and certified user, but again, short time-scales meant that J had to learn on the job.
