Status chance above 100% on anything other than a shotgun is useless. The extra shot from multishot will ALWAYS do the SAME status effect as the first using the same 100% status chance the first shot uses. This means you can proc the same status twice but you can't apply more than one status with one shot. Still very useful on certain enemies. Two corrosive procs on level 60+ corrupted gunners from a single shot is incredibly useful.

A shotgun DOES make use of over 100% status chance since the status chance is divided evenly amongst the base number of pellets. The boar prime for example has 40% status chance and 9 pellets. Which means each pellet has 4.44% chance of a status proc. Using all four elemental/status mods will give it 136% status chance which means each pellet will have a 15.11% proc chance. Multishot doesn't change the chance per pellet but every extra pellet has the same proc chance as the base 9.
