All bullets "arch"

All of these are direct fire. Not that you can't do "plunging" fire. Plunging fire is done with a direct fire weapon, but will normally be beyoud the max effective range of the round. ie. Ma duece out beyound 2500 meters, if you knew the right elevation you could "lobb" rounds in on troops over 4000 meters. You wouldn't get much feed back at that range but would likely get some heads down.

All of the a fore mentioned weapons fire center fire cartridges and are aimed...thus direct fire weapons.

Okay "plunging fire can be done but isn't the primary function.. Mortars are indirect fire. Blitz
