Borrowing someone else's equipment feels like borrowing their underwear. Kind of a personal thing, at least to me. I'm also worried about what I might do to someones firearm. It would be just my luck to trip and do an imitation of a pole vaulter (with a really short pole) and bend the barrel.

A better question for me, what is an appropriate shotgun for this? ???

You can make pretty much anything work....that being said, if you are going to buy something specifically for multigun, of primary importance is a tube capable of holding 8 shells (plus one in the chamber giving you the max of nine at the start signal). Semi-autos are easier to shoot quickly than pumpguns, too.
Probably the simplest ready-out-of-the-box shotgun for Multigun right now is the Mossberg 930 JM Pro. (If money is no object, then buy a Benelli from Taran Tactical and make everyone else jealous.) Lots of us have the JM Pro, and it works great.
That being said, when I started I used an 18" Remington 870 with an extended tube, and did perfectly well in Limited division.
With shotgun, the ability to load quickly is what tends to separate the really good competitors from the rest of us.

I started with a 930jm pro and it was great. I just replaced it with a Beretta 1301 and it's much nicer IMO. all it needed was a tube. my 930 needed lifter work to keep my thumb in tact and needs to be cleaned much more often.
also, I prefer a longer tube. you can only have 9 at the start, but if you have a tube that holds 11, you can drop an extra 2 in right as you start. makes it nice for stages that don't allow one in the chamber.
