Yes, you can, and its not a dumb question at all ;)

You can Proc with any element listed for that weapon in your Arsenal. So a weapon with Puncture, Impact and Cold may proc any of those. Kepp in mind that combined elements count as one: So a weapon with Puncture, Impact, Cold and Fire is considered a weapon with Puncture, Impact and Blast, so you will Proc one of these THREE (if you proc), but you will never get a Fire nor Cold proc anymore.

The probability of an certain damagetypes (elemental or physical) proc occuring is calculated by that damatypes damage as stated in the arsenal divided by the total damage. I.e if the Dread (with 180 Slash, 10 Impact and 10 Puncture (so 200 total damage)) procs, that proc got a 90% chance to be a Slash Proc, while only 5% for it to be Impaxt or Puncture.
