Except the wat crit is calculated on shotguns ends up making the per shot damage roughly:

Damage x (Crit chance x crit damage) = Actual damage per shot

So Vaykor hek does 525 base damage, with maxed primed ravage and blunderbuss it has 49.7%? crit chance (which I'll round to 50% for simplicity sake) and 4.4x crit damage, thus we have :525 (50% x 4.4) or 1155 damage on average per shot.

But thats not much different than a rifle or any weapon for that matter except that since shotguns are calculated per pellet, it'll average out better in a single shot compared to say a rifle that has only a single bullet (most of the time, some non-shotguns have more than 1 bullet per shot by default).

TLDR: More pellets, more chances to crit, better overall damage per shot vs single bullet's hit or miss crit roll.
