strange, I guess I'm missing something. Where are the mistakes

OK, first pic it looks like they borrowed the weapons from an airsoft club, it's a mismatch of german/american/chineese weapons from cold war/WW2...

And third pic, the wrapping areound the gun prevents from repeating the weapon, its wrapped around the bolt

Pic 1: For starters: Uniforms are not even close. Camo netting. Black boots. Weapons assortment is way off.

Pic 2: Ammo bandoleers are wrong. Top-feeding magazine LMG not in US WW2 arsenal. No rank insignia on anyone's uniform.

Pic 3: Simplest issue - he isn't going to do much good with a plugged barrel on that carbine. Camo pattern not US. Helmet not US.

Well that and all the troops are Asians in US Uniforms with Airborne Patches...

(Yes I know there was a Japanese-American Division in Europe...)

Well, pretend US uniforms. I don't see an American flag on there anywhere - just some "Shield logo thingie" on the right shoulders.

Mr. Miyagi's unit - 442nd Regimental Combat Team. VERY highly decorated unit.

Yeah, saw those; I was referring to the actual style and cut of the uniforms as not being American, and reinforcing the idea that the "shield logo thingie" was a "sort of" American-looking, well, shield-logo-thingie, but was located where the flag would have been if it were an American uniform.

Gimme a little credit

And these guys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Tigers, which is what the pictures are based off of, very poorly if I may add.
