SEAL Team

Payback - S2-E18

Stupidity: The Seal team is sent to apprehend an HVT. Their insertion didn't require a long hike. Usually on long range recons where Seals walk 20+ kms and don't fix to get into a gun fight they don't wear plate carriers with ballistic plates due to the weight and extra body heat generated. However on this op their journey was short, and they knew they were going to get contact inside a structure where getting shot is more likely since it's close quarters battle, but they didn't wear plate carriers.

Fracture - S2-E1

Factual error: The briefer on the oil platform mission says the platform is 12 stories, and 80 million square feet. Doing the math, that makes it half a mile per side if completely square. It is nowhere near that size as shown. The largest oil rig in the world - Berkut in Russia's Far East - has a combined deck area of only 342,000 square feet. (00:13:35)

Season 2 generally

Question: This season has added the odd effect of a large puff of red smoke/dust whenever someone is shot. It is unrealistic and distracting. Wondering if anyone knows the reason for this change.

Answer: Depending on caliber the body does spray blood from .308 and up.

Answer: Only because it looks cool on screen.
