Factual error: Kayce shoots the burnt guy out of mercy. The reservation police officer to cover for Kayce switched gun slides with Kayce. Both men were carrying Glock 19 handguns. On the Glock, the slide and the frame have serial numbers. Now their serial numbers don't match. To cover up the shooting, they would have to just switch gun barrels. (00:54:08)
Other mistake: The excavator with the rotating bucket wheel that is shown in the opening is turning backwards from the direction required for it to actually dig.
Factual error: Jamie is looking at his birth father's Montana State Prison inmate identification sheet. On the sheet, it lists his Social Security Number (SSN) as 4142-77-89332. However, in the United States, an SSN is a nine-digit number. (00:25:07)

Phantom Pain - S4-E2

Factual error: The intro takes place in March. The trees in the background say otherwise. In the mountains in March, leaves are usually not fully developed on trees until April at the earliest. The scene was likely shot in the fall.
Factual error: The Governor arrives at the ranch in her official vehicle. However, the vehicle has US Government license plates. A State Governor is not a US Government representative, so the vehicle would have State plates. (00:16:41)
Continuity mistake: The main character is chasing after the guy in white. Right before he falls, the main character shoots him in the left shoulder. The mark disappears from his shirt after that.
Suggested correction: The guy was shot in his right shoulder not his left, when his head hit the rock, his left shoulder (not his right) is exposed.
The Apocalypse of Change - S5-E10
Other mistake: While in Amarillo, Texas, Rip tells Beth that it's the first time he has ever been out of Montana. However, since the "Train Station" is located in a rural county in Wyoming and is a secret place where bodies are disposed of, Rip cannot admit that he has been to Wyoming. (00:21:54)
Continuity mistake: Beth offers Rob a cigarette and places her cigarette case on the table, setting her gold lighter upright next to it. Although Rob doesn't immediately accept her offer, the lighter's position changes in subsequent shots—first standing upright, then lying flat on the table, and finally back to being upright again. (00:49:40)
Continuity mistake: The lady at the bar has a double shot of whisky. Walker asks for some water. As the scene plays, it goes back and forth, showing their faces and drinks on the bar. They are talking and not drinking, but the lady's drink empties down to the ice cubes. (00:03:29)

After a terrible fight, Sarah goes over and grabs an empty glass from the top of the bar. The glass is suddenly filled with ice when she drinks the vodka.
The Beating - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode, Kayce has tracked his stolen cattle to a trailer. He bangs on the door, identifying himself as a livestock agent. The lock clicks audibly, so Kayce runs around back where a gunfight ensues, and he kills the cattle thief. Moments later, he is back on the other side of the house where he was knocking and hears a child's scream. Rather than running back around to the side of the house where the dead guy is, he enters the now unlocked door to find a little girl crying over the dead guy.
Continuity mistake: When the bikers are grilling on the ranch, there are only 10 bikers. Butin the various shots that show the bikes, there are 12 bikes (2 groups of 6).
