shotgun proc chance is divided between pellets.

if your shotgun has 10% proc chance and shoots 10 pellets then each pellet has 1% chance to proc.

status chance on the screen shows your chance to inflict a status effect on one trigger pull. that is why multi-shot increases status chance on pistols and so on. adding multi-shot increases your chance to inflict a status on each trigger pull.
