No it probably cannot. The opening angle of the spread pattern does not allow that. Also, the range is limited, roughly 500-600m. It is meant to take out those three, four infantrymen hiding inside that house behind the wall, and take them out quickly before they could let go their missile by shooting one round right into the window or through the wall, or for taking out some infantry some hundred meters away that might pose a threat by firing ATGMs or Panzerfaust.
The Swedes use a whole collection of different ammunition onboard the CV-9040 series of IFVs, every ammo type specialised for taking out armour, soft targets, helicopters, with delayed fuse, without, pointy shot or flechette type of shot etc. If you try that in SBP, you'll find ammo switching pretty much confusing at times, due to the flexible but complex ammo loading and switching options onboard the CV9040 - I always screw it up sooner or latter and thus load only twop types of ammo. Nothing beats the simplicity of the German Leopards in this regard, even the Abrams makes it slightly more complicated than necessary.
