I'm gonna be a big dirty heretic again and give props to Izmash's Saiga. Kalashnikov manual of arms and engineering. 8-round detachable magazine that's roughly the same profile as a 30-round AK-47 mag and only a bit thicker, so it'll fit in at least some ComBloc LBE. Felt recoil is, at least to me, appreciably lower than the other 12ga semi-autos I've shot. Some timeline fiddling might be required to make them available in the 1.0/2.0/2.2 Twilight Wars, though maybe not - I'm not sure of the exact start of production date but they were being built for export at least as early as 2001.
Barring that, Remington 870. Spare parts are everywhere and a pump gun sometimes will cycle stuff that will choke an autoloader.
