Starring: Ron Livingston, Damian Lewis, Scott Grimes, Matthew Leitch, Shane Taylor
Day of Days - S1-E2
Audio problem: When Easy are attacking the 88 battery, in the scene where Buck scouts out what's ahead of him before throwing grenades, you can see a soldier holding an MP40 (machine pistol), who fires one shot with the sound effect of a Kar98 rifle. (00:31:50)
Continuity mistake: In the bootcamp scene where Captain Sobel is yelling at Private Christenson for drinking from his canteen, you see a machine gun resting on Christenson's right shoulder. When the camera angle changes to behind Christenson, the machine gun has suddenly moved onto his other shoulder. This happens quite a few times in this particular scene.
2nd Lt. Thomas Peacock: Holy shit.
SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: It's a whole other company.
Sgt. Martin: No shit.
Trivia: Band of Brothers was HBO's most expensive project ever.
Crossroads - S1-E5
Question: How exactly do the M1 Garands work? I noticed that after the clip is emptied a metal type plate comes out the top of the rifle, what is that?
Answer: That actually is the clip. It is loaded into the top of the rifle, and is ejected with the last round. See http://www.wwiitech.net/main/usa/weapons/m1/.
