The Hell Machine - S3-E28

Other mistake: When Saunders' tank and the other tank are sparring against each other, closeup shots of the tanks' rear drive sprockets show them moving in reverse, but overhead shots of the vehicles show the tanks moving forward.

Crossfire - S4-E8

Factual error: As Stevens charges the German machine gun nest, he fires more bullets than his M-1 rifle could hold (the rifle could hold only eight rounds per clip).

The Raider - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: During The Gun battle at the farmhouse, the number of bullet holes striking the window frame varies from scene to scene. Also, the window frame gets shot to pieces, but in subsequent scenes the window frame is intact-aside from the bullet holes in it.

The Gun - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: Long shots of the German sergeant shows his MP38/40 submachine gun at his waist and pointed down, but the close up shots of him show the weapon up by his chest, pointed up.

The Losers - S5-E2

Factual error: As Sgt. Saunders and his squad dodge artillery fire in the ruined city, modern high-tension electrical towers are shown. Also, no electrical towers whatsoever would have survived a prolonged artillery bombardment without being damaged or destroyed.

Braddock: Don't just stand there sucking on a prune pit, get these men some water.

Trivia: Actor Vic Morrow used a non-firing wooden replica of a Tompson submachine gun due to its lighter weight, thus being easier to carry. He used a heavier blank-firing model when it was required to be fired.
