What about using a plasma/plasmatic shotgun to destroy corpses? Seems like it would be quite effective to me.

This character started off quite lucky, finding the trigun as a pistol build on level 8. This allowed me to instakill formers and imps most of the time, preventing them from using medkits, so I could stock up more easily. I spent most of this time using unmodified red armour and A modded tactical boots, until I upgraded to A modded antigrav gothic boots (which may be the best boots possible for many builds) and P modded nanofiber red armour on levels 30-40. My main challenges were archviles resurrecting revenants faster than I could reload, but the damage output of pistol builds is unbelievable after getting SoG 5, so that didn't last too long.
Some time around level 60 or so, I got a combat pistol, and modded it with PPPBB; with that I was dealing 23 damage per shot, with a clip size of 26, so I could put out a total of 575 damage over 2.5 seconds. This was high enough, combined with the knockback, to destroy any threat I could see, usually before it could react. It was also fast enough to kill enemies resurrected by Archviles that were out of my sight before they could act, while still allowing me to advance.
Malek's armour, the antigrav boots, and later Hellrunner combined to give me a high movement speed as well (0.23 sec by the end, IIRC). This was important for chasing down enemies that were knocked back out of LoS by my pistol shots.
I kept an AoE weapon in my prepared slot throughout the game, first a shotgun (base, double, then combat), then rocket/missile launcher, then finally a plasma shotgun. In the early game, the shotgun was useful for taking out Lost Souls and Demons in close quarters, until the damage of my pistols outstripped them. I then switched to using a missile launcher, which allowed me to easily break down walls and destroy corpses. Late in the game I switched to the plasma shotgun because it didn't need to hit anything to destroy corpses, and didn't run the risk of destroying useful items, while still being able to get through walls in a pinch.
All in all, this was a quite powerful character, and never had much for difficulty in the early game, and almost none in the late game.

No, enemies can dodge. My bullet hit a tile that I was not aiming at; it did not simply pass through the enemy, missing it.
EDIT: it is quite easy to test, and see for yourself. I noticed it most when enemies walk around a corner, you will sometimes shoot the wall beside them instead. (at least with my char with the trigun, in Ao100)

re #5 (enemies dodging shots). I just double checked, and it appears that enemies can dodge shots. Either that, or else there is a graphics bug that causes it to appear that it happens. Their AI does not cause them to deliberately avoid shots, though they still can do it, randomly, especially if you have light-amp goggles.
Also, for my badge situation: getting the rest of the required bronze badges was quite easy once I tried to get them, though it took a while due to experimenting with ineffective builds.

Revision of my earlier post:
Rename the current Elephant Gun assembly to "Punt Gun". Create a new assembly from a shotgun that converts it to a rifle, named "elephant gun" (possibly BP). IRL, elephant guns are rifles, not shotguns, and punt guns are the largest shotguns, so I think the change would be appropriate.
Buckshot was intended to still be a shotgun, but have the damage type changed to bullet to help it pierce protection better.
Dragon's breath using fire damage would allow for easier gibbing of enemies, as well as destroying walls and corpses (?). Also, the assembly provides a use for firestorm packs on shotgun builds.
Sawed-Off shotguns wouldn't work with double shotguns, and I don't really care/have a good idea of which mods would be best for it.
New knife ideas: (again, some may have already been proposed)
Broadsword
Damage: 4d7
No thrown alt-fire, 1.5 sec fire time.
How to get it: Assembly: combat knife + BB
Lightsaber
Damage: 5d8
Damage Type: Plasma
No thrown alt-fire, 0.8 sec fire time.
How to get it: Assembly: combat knife + NAP
Boomerang
Damage: 3d5
main fire is thrown, 1.5 sec time (returns instantly)
Alt-fire (or bump attack) is melee
How to get it: Assembly: combat knife + TA

Shotgun assembly ideas (some may have already been suggested, I didn't read all 50+ pages):
Dragon's Breath (Shotgun)
Damage: Original -1 die
Damage Type: Fire
How to get it: Assembly: any shotgun + PF
Sawed off (shotgun)
Damage: Original - 2 dice, Wide shotgun blast
How to get it: Assembly: any shotgun + AA
Buckshot (Shotgun)
Damage: Original +1 die
Damage Type: Bullet
How to get it: Assembly: any shotgun + BB
Change Elephant Gun from a shotgun to a rifle (and modify some of its stats)

I believe that the following changes would improve my enjoyment of this game:
1. Allow mouseover information on objects that are out of line of sight, instead of just "out of sight". It is obvious to experienced players what most things are most of the time, but learning the object sprites should not be required to play optimally (if you don't mind taking the time to examine things). This would also help when invincible/berserk/enviropacked.
2. Either remove full reload, or give me a reason to use it (eg. faster reloading). Currently, it is a death trap for the lazy, unwary, or inexperienced, and has no tactical value that I can see. Not only does it reduce your reaction time, it also takes longer that reloading one by one. (Actually, almost none; it might be able to be used to extend action-based timed effects such as Invulnerability over a longer time.)
3. Make invulnerability globes immune to damage on the floor. I can deal with health globes etc. getting destroyed by explosions, but this seems weird.
EDIT: maybe not. Also, this point is out of the theme set by the others, so feel free to ignore it.
4. Allow higher tier badges to substitute in for lower ones for skill rank requirements. I had 2 gold badges and 4 or silver badges before I got the 9 bronze badges required for Sergeant rank.
5. (not 100% sure about the mechanics of this one...) Change the way manual aiming works. Currently, it is a bad idea to aim directly at an enemy, unless you are using Gun Kata. This is because (at least some) enemies can dodge, causing you to shoot at a spot without an enemy on it, and this can be avoided by shooting behind the enemy instead.
6. +1 to the suggestions that Juggler not treat pressing a hotkey differently from equipping normally, enhanced AoE displays for explosives and shotguns, more visible rocket launcher sprite, and more easily accessible level feeling.
EDIT: 7. Change knockback direction calculations, so that enemies are always knocked along the path of the shot, especially if you are aiming straight at them. This would prevent one shot of a Storm Bolter Pistol from pushing an enemy out of the line of fire of the second shot (or first shot of a GCB making the next 5 miss...)
