Not much of an EvE-tard myself, but I believe that both rail and plasma are hybrid, so that means the AR and the RR.
No, I am not CCP Logibro.

Anything plasma-based, or magnetically propelled.
I think the idea is that they're a hybrid of energy and projectile weapons, whereas Amarr are generally energy, and Minmatar projectile.
The Combat Rifle is a conventional weapon. A round is fired from the barrel using an explosive charge.
The Plasma (assault) Rifle is hybrid. An energised ball of plasma is propelled like a conventional projectile.
The Rail Rifle is hybrid. A conventional round is propelled down the barrel by the energy of a magnetic charge.
The Scrambler Rifle is an energy weapon. A nuclear reaction generates a burst of radiation that is focused at the target via a crystal.
No.

CR is Minmatar which is projectile. Short range with big falloff (called effective range here) with high rate of fire.
Rail and blaster tech are hybrid. I.e. The AR and RR as well as turrets.
Blaster or plasma: Short range but longer than projectile with very small falloff and more optimal range. High tracking and higher rate of fire than other types but less than projectile.
Rail: low RoF and long range, low tracking.
Rail for Caldari, blaster for Gallente.

"Hybrid" is a bit of a confusing term in DUST, and I don't know why it was carried over from EVE.
In EVE, hybrid weapons are blasters and railguns. They are called hybrids because they a) use the same ammunition, and b) use some form of electromagnetic propulsion.
The 'hybrid' weapons in dust have 'b' in common, but use very different forms of ammunition. It would be easier to just differentiate them as 'plasma' and 'rail' weapons, since lore-wise they are not true hybrid weapons.
The only real place it comes up is the gallente assault bonus to reduction of hybrid weapon pg/cpu usage, which applies to both rail and plasma weapons.
Playing since 1st batch of closed beta keys.
