105's don't really have such a beasty anymore.
What our choices would be comes down to direct fire with either an MTSQ fuze or VT fuse against people.
There's a flechette round, but it's pretty much an indirect fire only round.
From what little I remember about the ammo itself was that the flechette round was an airburster and needed the arcing flight to have max effect.
That may be incorrect info, but that's what I was told.
Basically the words were, "You're better off using HE and timed fuse settings if you need to fire directly at people. Since you're light towed, it's bad news if there's people running at you."
