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.
