Maverick 88?
Mossberg Maverick 88 12-gauge shotgun. This has replaced the "nugget" as the standard go-to poorfag firstgun. Simple and reliable, from a reputable company, with a good warranty and great parts availability, ammo availability, and aftermarket support. They can be had commonly for $200-ish
Maverick 88 is a good choice pretty cheap and reliable. Also check pawnshops you can probably find a cheap scattergat there. My local place had a damn mosberg 500 with wood for like 110.
