I would think you would want a shotgun for that kind of work. Or so a Viet vet buddy of mine tells me. He also told me, though, that if the NVA or VC caught you with one, they executed you on the spot.
I guess that means they really really really didn't like M-79's loaded with canister rounds.

I never served, so I don't know what ordnance is (was) available for the M-79. I would have assumed they fired only grenades or maybe WP rounds. An M-79 with canister would be nasty.
He never mentioned it, though, and I haven't seen him in years, or I would ask him.
