Continuity mistake: In Episode 4, after a Japanese counter attack, Leckie is talking to two other soldiers. In the first shot you see him walk to where the .30 cal machine gun position is located. The machine gun is uncovered, then after the camera switches to the dead Japanese and back to machine gun, it's covered by a water proof tarp. Then it shows Leckie again as he's lighting a cigarette with just the tip of the .30 cal machine gun muzzle uncovered.

The next shot he is continuing walking through the jungle but the gun is in his right hand (which isn't burned) and his canteen has also switched sides as he walks past the same group of trees.
