Crossroads - S1-E5
Corrected entry: In part 5, Crossroads, when they are firing on the Polish and the SS companies, you see the left side of the 30-cal machine gun. As it fires you see shells dropping out of the outer side. This shouldn't happen because that would indicate a disintegrating belt, but they didn't come into use until the 1960's so the rounds from the gun should be in a belt.

Corrected entry: At Guadalcanal, American marines were armed with outdated weaponry. (So what else is new?) They had Springfield 1903 bolt action rifles and Model 1927 Thompson Submachine guns. In this movie, they have modern weapons: i.e. M-1 Garand rifles, and Thompson M-1 Submachine guns, none of which were, at this point, issued to any marines.
Correction: This movie focuses on the soldiers that were there, not marines. The statement is made by John Travolta's character that "the Marines have done their job and now its our turn." The soldiers did have M1 rifles and subguns, the marines didn't.

Correction: The machine gun has to strip a round off the belt to be fed into the chamber. The belt itself does not disintegrate, but there is no way for the gun to put the fired casing back in the belt.
