[Star Wars] Blaster bolts seem way more humane and survivable than the gunpowder weapons we use. The bolt lances through your body and cauterizes on its way, preventing death from internal bleeding. How do people die from a blaster impact unless they're hit in a vital organ? Do you die from shock?

Blasters are much more devastating than that. The blaster bolt contains an enormous amount of energy that is contained magnetically until it hits you. After that it enters your body but instead of cauterizing and passing through, it releases it all. 

If you are shot in the shoulder you may be lucky and have only a toasted shoulder inside, but a blast in the chest is lethal. You can expect a totally charred heart and lungs. It's instant death.
