^ Above tenno is absolutely incorrect. Crit chance on a shotgun or other multi-shot weapon (either innate or modded or both) is for each projectile or pellet individually.

If the shotgun says it has a 25% crit chance, each individual pellet has a 25% crit chance.

Status for shotguns on the other hand, is divided between the (innate) number of pellets. Modding for multishot has no downside though, because it only ever divides by the gun's natural pellet count. This is probably the same for other non-burst guns that fire multiple shots per trigger pull, though there may be odd cases out there, who knows.
