Some interesting talk in the comments explains why shotguns and fusion rifles never get the yellow crit numbers, but do more damage to the head. Apparently most red health bar enemies have half armor on the head and thus take double damage to the head before crit damage is applied. So apparently you will do more damage to the head, but not crit, with shotguns and fusion rifles... I haven't looked at the data and/or videos to verify, but this makes sense to me.

Hmmm...my shotgun gets a yellow crit number. Just one big total number, not 12 individual ones like you get if you hit all body shots.

There was talk of the damage from individual pellets being added together into some of the numbers. Supposedly the bigger numbers are always multiple pellets just added together but not crits.
But if it's yellow then it must be a crit. *shrug*

I got the comedian as my first ever vanguard gift.... snuck up to a level 2 dreg from behind in the the steppes... ads'd.... barrel right by it's ear.... fire. No yellow damage. I ran away and disassembled it right then and there
