Can they go on/in:

buildings
roofs ( + factory roof).\

Thanks
Some may, others not.

B23.85 GUNS: No ⅝" counter weapon may occupy a rooftop, except for a mortar of ≤ 82mm which must be dm to be portaged to/from the rooftop (or between different Locations of it). Such mortars may fire from those rooftops. A Gun may never be Emplaced (C11.2) on a Rooftop.

B23.93 GUNS: A Fortified Building differs from a building in that any ART/AT/INF Guns ≤ 76mm may set up in the fortified upper levels of a multi-level stone Fortified Building. Such a weapon cannot be moved from that Location during play. See C2.6 for the minimum distance at which such a Gun can fire at a different-level target. Any type/target size of Gun may set up in the ground level of a Fortified Building but may not fire at Aerial targets or use Indirect Fire. No ⅝" weapon counter may be moved into a Fortified Building during play.

C2.7 PROHIBITED HEXES: A Gun cannot occupy an upper building level [EXC: Fortified Buildings and mortars on Rooftops], nor can it occupy a Water Obstacle, crag [EXC: mortars; B17.4], marsh, or Irrigated-paddy (G8.12) unless dm and possessed or in/on a vehicle/boat. Small-Target-Size Guns and AT/INF Guns that are not large targets are the only ⅝" non-vehicular Gun counters that may ever occupy a building/rubble hex [EXC: Rooftop mortars (B23.85); Fortified Building (B23.93)].

O5.45 INDIRECT FIRE:
Indirect fire is is allowed from a Roofless Factory Hex, but AA fire vs Aerial units is not.

NOTE: The addition of Rubble in C2.7 as a limitation for set up of Guns is often overlooked.

Reading on, "A Fortified Building differs from a building in that any ART/AT/INF Guns ≤ 76mm may set up in the fortified upper levels of a multi-level stone Fortified Building. ... Any type/target size of Gun may set up in the ground level of a Fortified Building."

They may not go onto roofs [EXC: Berlin FlaK towers].

Small target size AA guns may be set up in the ground floor of buildings whether Fortified or not. See B23.423.
