The Ones You Can't See - S3-E7
Other mistake: Before the Seals went on their counter-sniper operation they were briefed that the enemy snipers were going to be using SVD-63 Dragunov's which have a range of 800m. The two enemy snipers who were killed never had Dragunov's, they had standard bolt action type rifles without suppressors, hard to identify a specific brand. They engaged the Seals from a distance with unsuppressed weapons over a crowd of people and the crowd didn't hear a thing. This is a falsity, a 7.62mm shot can be heard for 3km. (00:37:26 - 00:38:00)
Other mistake: Ray and Clay are utilizing sniper rifles to combat the hostile enemy. Their shots are both shown through a thermal optic view, however both of their rifles only have standard day optics. For a thermal view to be operational a separate thermal optic needs to be clipped on to the front of the day scope/optic to provide a thermal view. A day scope/optic doesn't magically become thermal. They mount onto the top rail of the Picatinny Rail. (00:29:00 - 00:29:40)
Other mistake: Jason Hayes is arrested by a NIS (Naval Investigative Service) agent and placed in handcuffs. Still in handcuffs, Jason is walked into the United States Naval Consolidated Brig by Shore Patrol. The handcuffs are removed and Jason empties his pockets. Jason places a knife in a bowl. There's no way a prisoner would be arrested or allowed into a jail or brig without being searched, and there is no reaction to the fact there is a weapon and a prisoner had access to it. (00:01:01)
Other mistake: When Clay is engaging a terrorist armored vehicle, his rifle is on safe, he fires a few rounds, then places his rifle on fire, firing a few more rounds.
Other mistake: Sonny discovers Lisa's training manual, and it says "Officer Candidates School." It should be "Officer Candidate School." It even says so on the seal right there on the same cover. (00:11:20)
Rock Bottom - S2-E20
Other mistake: The team is sent to the Kashmir region to capture kill an HVT. In the briefing room it was discussed in episode 19 that Alpha and Bravo teams would be involved in this op. However, it's only Bravo team on the ground and only Bravo that HAHO'd from the airplane. (00:12:58)
Other mistake: Jason looks through his Eotech Exps optic. The optic is a 1x power so zero magnification, however when he looks through it, it's shown as magnified. The only way this could happen is if the optic was equipped with a 3x (G33) or 5x (G45) flip magnifier which attaches via Picatinny rail behind the optic on the rifle platform. His rifle doesn't have magnifier. (00:21:30 - 00:22:00)
Other mistake: Ray asks about ISR drone overwatch, the Colonel says "a drone will stick out in the city." Jason says to put up chopper which Clay will be in. In the operations room once the mission has started Davis says "ISR is up", and the team is viewing the target on their screens via video feed. The view is directly from up top so it can't be a video feed coming from Clay's chopper since he's viewing the target through his rifle scope at an angle and distance. Drones can fly at 30,000ft, 9100m. (00:22:00 - 00:28:00)
Other mistake: The Seal team and the Mexican Marines are discussing an HVT snatch and grab. One of the team asks about using an ISR drone, and the suggestion is shot down with the comment that it would stick out in the city. First of all military drones can fly at 9000m/9km/30,000ft so that statement is false. A chopper is suggested. As the mission progresses one of the team members in the TOC says "we're tracking the target on ISR now." Did they forget what was just said 4 minutes ago? (00:22:00 - 00:26:00)
God of War - S4-E1
Other mistake: The team is loading their P-Mag type magazines with 5.56 bullets, however the bullets are "glued" into the couch facing down facing down, however they do not have a tip. Ammo is loaded from boxes, or stripper clips. I've never seen ammo inserted into a couch to be placed in magazines. (00:08:17)
Other mistake: The team finds Ray's helmet which was shot off his head by a bullet. It was one of those 1 in a million shots that was lucky for him, and they do happen in real life. What I noticed earlier was the rest of the team is not donning helmets, they have plate carriers on though. It appeared Ray was the only one with a helmet. If anything he should've been the one without it since his HAHO jump went awry, and he could've lost gear. Doesn't make sense for one guy to don a helmet and the rest not. (00:30:35 - 00:31:00)
Answer: Yes. They would have to land 3-4 times for refuelling. The plane could fly with the wheels down, but the additional drag slows the plane and increases fuel consumption.
