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)

Fine idea, but I do not see any advantage of using that weapon over, lets say Elephant Gun.

Sawed off (shotgun)
Damage: Original - 2 dice, Wide shotgun blast

Two accuracy mods and less focused blast? Make it TT rather. Second thing - what about DS?

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)

So, we should lose Elephant Gun and replace it with some weapons for wussies?

Go to Hell, hell spawn.

Besides, if there is a new shotgun, it must be the BOOMSTICK!

Dragon's Breath (Shotgun)
Damage: Original -1 die
Damage Type: Fire

There is a Plasma Shotgun that's pretty much superior to this, that's made with a sniper pack.

Buckshot (Shotgun)
Damage: Original +1 die
Damage Type: Bullet
How to get it: Assembly: any shotgun + BB

What? A 9d3 bullet shooter? I expect this will no longer be a "true" shotgun (no spread at all, no damage decrease to distance, and no accuracy too :D), but it will eat up them shells, why not... still, elephant gun is still better than this for the only worthy purpose as I see it - whacking Cyberdemon with Dodgemaster. (But if you can snipe mancubi with this, why yes let's make it :))

[skarczew]

An additional Shotgun that works like Pistol, or an additional Pistol that works that Shotgun (or w/e combination of bullet/shell eater) can be interesting.

But do not touch Elephant Gun, wussies :P .

[ih8regin]

elephant guns are for elephant wussies! :D

[Creepy]

Buckshot should be named "Slugthrower" instead. Buckshot is shot, it has spread and stuff. Slugs are the non-shot shotgun shell.

And poo on replacing the elephant gun with anything.

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)

TotalBlender!

"Will it blend...?"

Damage: 8d8
Magazine: 40 ammo (eats up 1 per attack)
Damage type: melee?
Ammo: cells
Alt fire: GIB (BLEND) CORPSES
Random drop, let's say from Nightmare mobs

Super rare OP weapon, especially for N! players. :D Reference is obvious I think.

[Klear]

Chainsaw doesn't need fuel, so I guess the blender could go without ammo. I'd give it a much lower attack, since it's hard to get the enemies into the blender. I have no doubt that even Cybie would blend, though.

[ih8regin]

a Longinus Spear on batteries? Well, why not having a blender eat up ammo, it's consumed to actually suck a demon inside. Altfire eats up 40 ammo, and let it be just that :)
