Demolition ammo and other useless(?) assemblies
Mogul:
I might be alone in this, but I think the Elephant Gun blows other shotguns out of the water. If I'm going for a shotgun focused build it is my primary weapon. Tactical Shotguns are great, especially when you're not getting shotgun traits, but they can't really compete with an Elephant Gun when you have the appropriate traits. Shell efficiency, the larger cone of fire, and higher damage/knockback all make it fantastic. The only real downside is when you are cornershooting, but the extra knockback helps offset this, and you can combat it with appropriate use of ammoboxes or even sidestepping if you move fast enough.
MaiZure:
Yes!
I have always been a silent supporter of the Elephant Gun and I almost always get it when Im doing a shotty build. In fact, since they moved Combat Shotty to later levels, I almost never get it over the regular shotgun anymore.

Absolutely agreed. However, the Focused Double Shotgun/Super Shotgun is even better if you can make it/find it. Sure, it loses a little in ammo efficiency, but the damage boost is worth it, especially if you are playing MAD.

...unfortunately playing MAD Fin and WK traits are blocked and focused double shotgun can't be assembled anyway. I try focused double shotgun once and IMO this one of worst assemblies. Super shotgun fine and moddable. But focused shotgun... even with P-mod it only = unmodded super. Elephant gun assembly much more useful.

It really is a shame how far the assault rifle has fallen. I made it nearly every ammo chain game when it first came out because of its amazing accuracy and fire rate. Now the fire rate bonus is gone and it's far less accurate, on top of the double ammo cost.
