All Along the Watchtower: Part 2 - S3-E6
Factual error: The Seals use Surefire suppressors which reduce flash by 99%. As the suppressors get warmed up the flash slightly increases. In the show the muzzle flash is that of unsuppressed weapons. (00:32:20 - 00:33:00)
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)

Answer: They should be wearing balaclavas. They do such operations usually on foreign soil.
