There were some "civilian" single shot (single barrel) shotguns in South Vietnam...probably brought over by some early US servicemen. In the meantime, the standard pump 12 gauge US Military shotgun has always been the Winchester Model 1897 pump shotgun. This model is easily identified as it has an exposed hammer at the receiver end; and companies don't make exposed hammers on rifles and shotguns anymore (unless they are replicas of something). The Remington pump transitioned thru the inventory during the war, and shortly after the war, came the Mossberg.

What model 12 gauge with Stevens-Savage on the barrel would have been used in Vietnam for close combat?
The Stevens shotgun most commonly employed in Vietnam was the Model 77E. It had a buttstock that was slightly shorter than standard length to accommodate the slighter build of South Vietnamese troops. Some 61,000 Stevens 77E shotguns were sent to Southeast Asia during America's involvement in Vietnam. Today, they are relatively rare collectors items because the vast majority of them (almost 100%) were left in Vietnam when the American forces withdrew.
