	Colonel Pitts ([[Larry Hagman]]) and most of his Rangers, including Captain Clark ([[Treat Williams]]), are equipped with anachronistic [[M1 Carbine\|M2 Carbine]]s fitted with curved 30 round magazines instead of the more historically accurate straight 15 round magazines. Several of the Rangers' magazines are seen taped together "Jungle Style" for faster reloads. Neither the M1 or M2 Carbine was ever issued this way (''en masse'') during WW2, but for production reasons this weapon replaced both the [[M1 Garand]] and the [[Thompson Submachine Gun]], which are mentioned in the book but not carried or shown in the movie. In the novel the Germans were also equipped with the [[Bren Gun\|Bren light machine gun]] but this did also not translate into the movie.
