They are proc effects.

Damage types:

Impact

Puncture

Slash

(If you count all 3 up then you should get the base damage of your weapon)

Basic elemental types:

Heat

Toxin

Cold

Electricity

Combined elements

Radiation

Gas

Viral

(Elemental damage runs off your base damage of your weapon)

Combined Elements:

Cold+Electricity=Magnetic

Cold+Heat = Blast

Cold + Toxin = Viral

Electricity + Heat = Radiation

Heat + Toxin = Gas

.

Each weapon has a status chance to proc one of the above if they are modded into the weapon if if the weapon already has it (don't know if they deal double damage when they proc)Each proc adds a special negative effect on the target (enemy) hit.

Each weapon also has a status chance so if you have a weapon that has 20% status chance and add a mod that adds 50% status chance then you will have 30% status chance.if you can get a mod that adds 100% status chance then you would have 40% status chance.
