A howitzer would be more useless in CQC, but that's besides the point.
To quote you...

CC = Close Combat, if I'm correct. I assumed you meant CQC. Compounding on that...

I said nothing about using an XM307 in CQC, I only mentioned it because I was pointing out that the XM307 is far more tactically flexible in a staged killing ("Make that a very straight line...
") than a howitzer. The only situation in modern times in which a howitzer would outclass a man-portable, squad-operated AGL would be medium-range artillery support.Quod Erat Demonstrandum.
