Hivemind.

We don't allow images of recognizable real life weapons, not to mention carbon copies of said weapon.

I mean for heaven's sake, man, you called it an S16!

Quick point I'd like to make given the large number of slugthrower apps floating around...

Slugthrowers offer a couple advantages over blasters. They can use special ammo types, can be silenced, and are in general more difficult to block with a lightsaber.

Why then, you may ask, do so many people in Star Wars use blasters? It's simple. Stopping power. See following quote from wookieepedia:

As blaster usage increased, the popularity of personal armor declined—while extremely effective against most slugs, even modern armor could not stop a direct blaster hit, and as a result the wearing of bulky or cumbersome protective gear seemed to offer little benefit, while still obstructing movement. Thus, the blaster arguably increased the usefulness of the slugthrower.

Also, as this is a fictional sci-fi universe, most standard movie gun tropes apply.

[A®heim]

Just like the steady decline in the heaviness of middle age suits of army to light cuirasses, and finally cloth uniforms in the face of dawning firearm technology. This was only changed once body armor caught up to bullets in this ever-present arms race.
