Shall We Gather at the River (season 2, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

Updated today Plot hole: During the abortive attack on the aliens' structure in season 1, Weaver's command car, the GTO convertible with the 50 cal gets hit, and ends up lying on its side. The second episode of season 2 shows it, intact and undamaged as Tom and Weaver are discussing their plans. I can understand salvaging the .50, but the fuel and engine oil would have leaked out of the GTO, and once on its four wheels there would be no guarantee of its starting.

Factual error: Pope tells Tom that the weapon he gives him is standard Army issue except it has a mech metal warhead. However the weapon he gives him is an RPG-7, a Soviet designed and built weapon.

Plot hole: Where do the resistance fighters get their weapons? They have carried Russian AK series, German UMP's, American M4's and M16's and Israeli Galil series just to name a few. While they might have salvaged the M4's and M16's from US military sources, it is highly unlikely they would find foreign assault rifles and ammunition in the Northeastern United States. That area of the US is notorious for its strict gun control laws.
