Yes indirect fire with a 240 and M 2 is possible

You need to look for TR 240-15 Machine Gun Techniques of Machine Gun Fire, Indirect Laying, 1925

This is the bible of the lost art of indirect fire with machine gun. Firing overhead, firing over mask, laying in more than one gun.

It opens up more of the battle space to the SBF positions.

Post WWI was the high point of machine gunnery and it carried into WWII. It fell off after that
