^ This guy is wrong. Multishot is a multiplier on pellet count. Most weapons have a pellet count of 1; any weapon that doesn't is known as a shotgun (or shotgun pistol). If the pellet count ends up with a fraction, because of multishot, it'll use the fraction part as a roll for one extra shot. So a normal gun files 1 pellet, with 120% multishot it'll fire 2.2 pellets. That means 2 guaranteed pellets and 20% chance of a third pellet. If you use Hek (fires 7 pellets) with 120% multishot, you'll get 15.4 pellets, that is 15 pellets and a 40% chance of a 9th pellet.

Multishot effectively turns a weapon into a miniature shotgun.

Also, Muffin is wrong. Crit over 100% is a chance to crit again. Means a 120% crit chance and 200% crit damage weapon has a 20% chance to do a 400% crit.
