The amount of bad physics here is staggering. A railgun will create lots of heat through the internal resistance of the projectile. It's essentially a short circuit. I'd assume a coilgun would do something similar with induced current.

Normal bullets are pretty hot coming out of the barrel, but not as, and they go about 5 times slower.

You can't actually do electric rounds because the charge would just dissipate into the air when fired. Unless you're shooting mini-tasers (it's an actual thing). But those are non-lethal.

Freeze rounds are basically impossible given thermodynamics and heat transfer limitations.

Actual incendiary rounds are hollow and are filled with some kind of fuel/explosive.

In game, you can mix fire and ice mods. This makes zero sense.

Also, it is theoretically possible to create a plasma channel in the air with a laser and then send current through that. But that's another story.

TLDR: It's a game.
