I'd assume as small bolt shaped kinetic energy penetrators in the case of Caldari. Wait, so like a bullet with powder in it to explain it better. The Gallente use the bullet to sustain the powder until the powder can be properly processed, charged and emitted from the weapon? The Caldari use the powder in the bullet to ignite it and propel the bullet with the ignition from the powder?
To some degree yes. But in the case of the Assault Rifle that bullet is formed around the powder in the gun and then fired.
The Caldari just use Railguns.....with what I imagine for small calibre weapons are solid state KE Penetrators. For larger ordinance if you read the Advanced Railgun rounds they use Super Dense Plutonium Sabots or APFSDS rounds (aka KE penetrators) and Iridium Flechette rounds triggered by Gravitron Pulse detonators (so to some degree they are smart rounds).

Not quite. The Gallente favor using the raw material in hybrid charges to create plasma, then contain that plasma and fire it as an electromagnetically contained bolt. I am not a scientist, but presumably it takes a massive amount of energy to do this, and this plasma still has relatively significant weight (ie, physical impulse to its hit) in addition to being unbelievably ****off hot in its high-energy state... due to having to be contained by an electromagnetic field it is, understandably very short range. While the caldari also share/use blasters in eve, their ships are less oriented towards it.
The Caldari method is, honestly considerably simpler and it has one of the most efficient principles behind it e=mc2. They take something incredibly molecularly dense, and use lorentz forces (?) generated by high amounts of electricity to rapidly expand a circuit as large and as fast as possible flinging the heavy 'slug' at you. How it works.
In short its kind of like the difference between using a piece of wood to create fire to kill your enemies, or using a piece of wood to create arrows to shoot at your enemies. While they share these methods, the caldari like using the arrows better, and the gallente like using the fire better.
