Sure, the French used just such a mortar on the AML 60-20 that was in use in the 50-70s. It was intended for support roles, but the 60mm mortar could be fired directly, whole thing was breech-loaded. And before anybody chips in about its antiarmor capabilities, it didn't have any, not enough muzzle velocity for the mortar. Direct fire range was about 500m.
