Both of these two bonuses go against a major feature present in EVE for these two races. That is that they both get bonuses to either weapons.
The difference is that the bonus given matches the racial profile [u]but[\u] it affects both weapon types. This also allows for better versatility and not anchoring the Gallente to just 1 hybrid ttpe as that is the only weapons they mostly use, unless you count drones which we lack. Although the Caldari ships are not limited to hybrid like the Gallente, many use Missiles not hybrid turrets so maybe their bonus can change when a non OP missile weapon is ever released.
Therefore the bonuses should go along the lines of:
After some proper long range/short range weapon balancing*
bonuses should change after the addition of missile weapons and drones**
Caldari Assault: 5% bonus to hybrid weapon range per level, and 2% kick reduction
Gallente Assault: 5% bonus to hybrid weapon rof per level, and 2% clip increase
Caldari Commando: 2% to hybrid weapon damage
Gallente Commando: 2% to hybrid weapon damage
Caldari sentinel: 3% shield resistance to hybrid weapons
Gallente sentinel: 3% armor resistance to hybrid weapons
For the Federation!

current bonus does squat for ion pistol, shotgun, and plasma cannon.
Cal bonus in general is just awful.
gallente and caldari should be able to use hybrids interchangeably.
I don't see why gallente are being pigeonholed into only having one weapon. we don't even have drones to use. I should at least be able to pick between a railgun and blaster.

They can do this in EVE because they also rely on drones and missiles, respectively.
(Hint: DUST needs drones and a full line up of missiles, not 'explosive' weapons. To accommodate missiles, rework weapon types and damage types to match EVE. Instead of DUST's current Laser, Hybrid- Plasma, Hybrid - Rail, Projectile, Explosive model, use EVE's Energy, Hybrid, Projectile, Missile weapon types which would do some combination of EM, Thermal, Kinetic, Explosive damage types.)
