Does the critical hit chance relate to the BH action critical shot?

From what I know they are supposed to stack. A sliced gun with +10% chance to crit can do crit damage with ANY move, but if you use that same weapon with Critical Shot then that 10% chance is added to whatever chance you already have as a BH.
We don't know if its working, however. We do know that a gun sliced for critical hits will register a +Critical+ without the BH Critical shot ability, but it appears that no extra damage is being dealt. To my knowledge no BH have tested if the slice improves their chances of getting a critical or not.

Ive tested this issue with a friend, let me explain:
The advanced critcal shot has a 10% pecentage of causing a critical hit. A critical hit does 25% more damage than a usual critical shot.
If you let your weapon slice for critical-hit-chance it gets a chance of up to 10% causing a critical hit on ANY attack. However the devs havent noticed (or just dont care)this issue is bugged and critical hits doneby these attacks wont cause the 25% more dmg.
But whenusing critical shot with a weapon sliced for 10% critical-hit-chance the chance of landing a critical hit indeed grows to 20% and indeed all of the critical hits done like that do the full amout of 125% dmg!
Although the critical hit dmg mod is raised by 5% like that (25% * 20%) instead of the 2.5% that a weapon thats not attatched with a 10% critical hit has, the critical shot is not worth being used.
The critical shot has a speed mod of about 1.9 and a dmg mod of about 1.9 at a very high aciton cost. The ability to cause a critical hit raises the dmg mod to 1.9475 which is far frommaking it worthusing the critical shot. With a 10% crit-hit-chance slice the dmg mod is raised to 1.995, which still is not enough to compensate the high action cost, but would indeed make it worth using it when you have a low enough sac that allows you to spam specials as long as you like.
btt: YES it is. The critical hit chance is cumulative!
Still doesnt make the slices more interesting than a speed slice, hope they will fix it soon in pub30or so. 
thx for your attention,RATPOWER! 
edit: if you find a mistake, blame feomatar.
