SEAL Team (2017)

Never Get Out of the Boat - S1-E16

Factual error: The team is in the briefing room, and they're being dispatched to Panatag Shoal. The picture of the island in the ops room has been modified from the original. The original real world picture shows very little vegetation. For this series they created a jungle to replace the water and sand shoal to make it fit their mission. The way the island is depicted in the series doesn't exist in reality. (00:30:20 - 00:31:27)

Never Get Out of the Boat - S1-E16

Factual error: Seals arrange their weapons and gear according to the mission they are deployed on, CQB requires short compact weapons, so they'll go with H&K 416 with a 10.4" barrel or the H&K MP7, for open terrain missions they'll swap out their uppers in the H&K 416's and swap in the 14.5" barrels. Bravo team is on a jungle op where no CQB is expected however most of the guys are rolling with 10.4." Clay is the only one with the long distance set up. Sonny doesn't even have his MK46 SAW.

Never Get Out of the Boat - S1-E16

Deliberate mistake: The Seal team is dispatched to an uninhabited island in the South China sea called Panatag Shoal. In the operations room the team is briefed that there is dense jungle. When the team gets there they're walking on paths laden with dry palm trees and paths 15ft wide. Dense jungle means you're walking through thick brush and using a machete to cut it. In reality Panatag Shoal has very little vegetation - it's a natural submerged bank which is covered by sand and rises from the bed of a body of water. (00:30:20 - 00:31:27)

Never Get Out of the Boat - S1-E16

Factual error: Clay is in a van, and he's looking at some men possibly standing guard. He uses his Eotech EXPS optic to zoom in on them. An Eotech optic is a zero power magnification optic, so looking through it is like looking through nothing. The only way it can be magnified is by adding a G33 3x or the newer G45 5x magnifier to the system. These magnifiers flip 90° and lock in place when magnification is needed or flip back when its not. Clay's rifle does not have a magnifier. (00:14:00 - 00:15:00)
