Hello, I have a question on weapons, and figured why not ask the guys who are trained experts with weapons?

Recently I've been told that the M2 .50 Cal, and the M240 are indirect fire?

And I was curious as to why they are labeled as indirect fire, considering an M249 at an "arc" trajectory can hit targets at 1,000 Meters but is considered direct fire, same with various long range rifles etc...

Can some of you Quiet Professionals put in some insight?
