Corrected entry: In episode three, Carentan, during the first battle in the city. Watch the part where two soldiers go in the house with the backyard shed (right before the same house gets bombed). Paranoid, one of the two soldiers shoots the backyard shed twice over a period of about 5 seconds. Well in his first shot, one bullet hole appears. In his second shot, two bullet holes appear. How can one bullet make two holes?

Correction: His suspicions of someone being in the shed is true. When he fires for the second time he hits someone and their jerk reactions return fire.

Replacements - S1-E4
Corrected entry: In part 4, 'The Replacements,' when the MG-42 starts firing after the first Sherman is hit, it stops and starts continually and flashes when the gun isn't firing.
Correction: All of the shooting in this mini-series, is done stylistically, as if you are actually present there in combat with them. Thus having certain times (as in the case with Tipper in Carentan) the sound is muffled. When a machine gun opens up on you, you don't hear every single shot. Especially when it is on top of a building, and there are obstacles in your path of hearing.

Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Corrected entry: On the beach, when Capt. Miller is dragging the wounded Briggs, there is a tank in the background, most likely a Sherman M4. Yet, a few minutes before he was telling "All the armor's foundering in the channel". Also we never see tanks landing on the beach so this tank appeared from nowhere. (00:12:05)
Correction: The Statement by Captain Miller is simply a generalization, and not meant as fact. Some, though few tanks landed on the beaches in the first hours, although we don't see it, it makes no difference. We don't see every single man who is there land either, but we know they are there.

Correction: For anyone who has ever fired a semi-automatic rifle, they would know that one can fire 3 shots and it can sound like 2 due to the speed of the firing. Also as with most other guns occassional additional fire can happen when the trigger is pulled. This is referred to as trigger bounce.
