Hit scan means if you have your aiming reticle over an enemy and pull the trigger, the enemy takes damage. It differs from non-hit scan weapons that release a projectile that has to make contact in order to do damage.
Lore wise, the only weapons that should be hit scan are laser weaponry. But considering limitations in technology, other weapons may have to have hit scan out of necessity.

Gallante Plasma Rounds: Have such little mass at such high velocity, the rounds would be more likely to fall up
Minmatar Projectile Rounds: The only ammo that could possibly have any ballistics, except for the fact it travels faster than the speed of sound, you wouldn't see any bullet drop before it left the map.
Amarr Photon Rounds: It's light, pure light, uneffected by gravity and the fastest travelling projectile in game.
None of them have ballistics, it's the future. Was this directed at me? Because I clearly stated: "But considering limitations in technology, other weapons may have to have hit scan out of necessity."
I'm fairly certain that rail guns don't have electromagnetic rounds, so much as the rounds are propelled by a magnetic field generated by an electric current. As for light beams having hit scan, it makes sense because nothing moves faster than light to my knowledge and the distances the light beam travels is too short to matter. Although this same reasoning can be applied to other weapons as well.
Hybrid rounds, according to lore, are containers that suspend plasma using electromagnetic fields to contain plasma. It is the choice munition of the Caldari and Gallente. Although the Gallente plasma rifle, shotgun, and ion pistol appear to fire plasma instead of hybrid rounds.
Don't honestly know if the projectile speed of Minmatar weapons is the same as the speed of sound.
Light can be affected by gravity. Its why black holes are black.
The physics from your posts sound odd to me. Can you explain in great detail and source where you are coming up with your theories?
