Railguns are considered a "Hybrid Turret" alongside the blaster turrets and both Gallente and Caldari use ships with hybrid turret bonuses. Gallente actually use them far more than Caldari as the Caldari focus more on missiles but they do have at least one ship per hull class that has a hybrid bonus.

They never made a Missile Rifle... So >_>;
Ahhh, not entirely true. We did have the dumbfire swarm launchers. Those were pretty much the definition of a missile rifle.
Too bad they were broken as hell...

Well when it comes to Caldari ships that do have hybrid bonuses, it actually comes to about 50/50 on damage or range or tracking and they have a fair number of ships that do all of the above.
Damage:
Merlin
Moa
Naga
Raptor
Falcon
Eagle
Vulture
Range and or tracking:
Cormorant
Ferox
Naga
Rokh
Raptor
Harpy
Eagle
Vulture
So it's 7 that have a damage focus and 8 that have a tracking/range bonus. And 4 of the ships that do have tracking still have a damage bonus. And like you said, a goodly portion of the damage boats also get a 16% shield omni-resist making them auto-tanky to try and stop Gallente from giving them an 800 DPS blaster boat suppository.

A lot of that has to do with how CCP has mucked about with ships though I remember when merlin was range bonused (and was 2 turrets 2 missiles... generally making it awful at everything aside being near impossible to kill with its 25% resistance bonus which is now only 20%). I also remember when moa was range, one of the hacs was TWO 10% range bonuses (alongside IIRC a damage bonus and a shield bonus). There's been a lot of tinkering by ccp to make caldari hybrid weaponry usage good. Because previously it was pretty much just "go heavy missile or go home".
Yeppers, it was something like 2 years ago the finally did a huge ship rebalance especially focused on the frigates, and they've been bringing in all the others ever since.
Also, I had a SPKR math moment there, it's indeed 20%, not 16%.
