You would think that only the ammo fired from the gun had the elemental effect. This shock effect also can buy you some time to run if you get in trouble and you don't have time to reload. Melee, then run. Those flash-nades do the same kind of thing too, but those are pretty self explanatory.
I just thought I'd share this.
