1) Yes it is for balance, after all imagine COD as a realistic shooter, at the ranges those maps are at the shotgun would win EVERY time.
2) They pretty much had to reinvent everything, that's why we have pump action shotguns, and tanks. The colonists that came through the EvE gate weren't exactly einsteins. As with pretty much every lore/background story because the needs of the 4 races were different to that of earth, certain aspects of culture evolve differently.
I mean the Gallante still PUBLICLY execute people as a form of entertainment. Here in Britain we stopped that in the 1800's yet this planet fairing race hasn't.

How much DPS does it have, exactly? lol its actually pretty rediculous...but if ccp wants a giant electro magnetic gun they should try to call it something other than a rail gun..as a rail gun isa real thing and it hurls a projectile at approaching 3 kilometers per second ..i dont think its possible for a railgun to have 300m range...its just not compatible witha hyper charged round that travels at approaching 3 kilometer per sec...and retains a majority of its kinetic energy
Assault Rifles have past 300m effective range. Yet you don't seem to question that.

Here in Britain we stopped that in the 1800's yet this planet fairing race hasn't. hmm well if the lore accounts for caladri managing to make that tech shoot a round that slow then kudos to ccp lol...caldari scientists must resemble earth pot heads ..but besides that nothing about the different between sniper range and railgun range has anything to do with balance its laughably unrealistic...and if we wanna talk about in game realism and things being different because they have to be because well balance...then i guess we can expect sniper range to be nerfed under 300m ? as currently...if we say having a rail gun be balanced means it must have 300m range or under then is it not safe to assume the same is needed for hand held snipers..? if so i am really excited so see this nerf and the qq it creates
The reason it travels so slow is down to physics.
No Rifiling + Extremely Dense Rounds + Lack of AeroDynamic tunning + Different Gravity/Atmospheres + Different Quantities of Dark Matter.
Hell there is no guarantee the laws of physics that we know even work outside our galaxy, we can't prove it.

And incredible power requirements, and lots of misfires.

We have a fairly good idea that they do apply outside of our galaxy, we can observe natural forces through their effects on other celestial objects and most importantly light :)
On larger objects, the objects we observe are massive, we still can't guarantee they work on objects our size.
Also we are assuming that New Eden is infact still within our own universe, they traveresed through a wormhole, which we never actually knew where it came out at.
Edit: Nice to see someone else interested in that kinda thing.
