2 stupidities in My Life for Yours

(9 votes)

My Life for Yours - S2-E21

Stupidity: Earlier in the episode Ray was the only one with a helmet on, he was however separated from the team. The rest of Bravo didn't don any helmets. They later appear over a ridge and extract Ray from an oncoming assault of enemy combatants, and they're all donning helmets. A helmet is meant to be worn because enemy contact can happen at any time. They were donning plate carriers weighing 25 lbs without any of the gear on it, a 2.6 lb helmet is nothing, makes no sense. (00:40:00 - 00:42:00)

My Life for Yours - S2-E21

Stupidity: Ray is solo fighting the enemy. He lowers his rifle and grabs his sidearm and says last mag. He hadn't been in a prolonged gun fight. He used up his 3 mags on his plate carrier and one in his rifle. A soldiers typical combat load is seven mags, 210 rounds, but that's when re-supply is possible. For long range recons where they are operating far from the main force a Seal will typically pack 12 plus mags like the guys from Operation Red Wings since re-supply is not possible. This is just dumb. (00:38:40)

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.
