Let's compare:

Arca: 600 radiation vs Fulmin: 500 eletricity

Arca: 22% crit chance and 1.6x mult vs Fulmin: 30% crit chance with 2.2x multiplier.

Arca: 28% status chance vs Fulmin: 16% status chance.

Arca: 1.1 shots per second vs Fulmin: 2.17 shots per second.

Arca: 10 shots with 2.8s reload speed vs Fulmin: 6 effective shots with 2.0s of effective reload speed.

Both: Damage falloff of 66% at 20m range.

Projectile size: Arca is much bigger.

Both: 3m punchthrough.

So Fulmin semi mode is more powerful against single targets or a line of targets, Arca has an easier time hitting more enemies. On the other hand, Fulmin has more vesatility with the auto mode and eletricity damage, because it can be more easily combined to make corrosive, magnetic and even radiation, while Arca will always deal Radiation.

Considering that status chance is less important in a slow shotgun, I say that Fulmin beats Arca Plasmor except crowd clearing.
