The rules state you may dive for cover from any indirectly fired templete or a power that utilizes a templete.

Any template as long as the model has a wait counter.

As i stated above on pg. 44 of the rule book it states any indiect fire or power that uses a templete. No where that i can find in the book or Faq's does it say any templete. Grenades, mortars, grenade launchers are indirect but Rocket launcher is direct fire and you cannot dive for cover.  So the question to ask is are shotguns and flamethrowers direct or indirect. You do have to target a miniature with both weapons and place the templete so it hits that miniature so iin my mind its a direct fire weapon. I dont know the official answer to this question.

Thank you Dragon for catching my mistake and clarifying.  Yes, it is only with indirect fire templates.  I also agree with your reasoning on flamers and shotguns.  To be indirect it needs to have a trajectory and be lobbed in.  Shotguns and flamers are most definetly a straight line.
