Talk:The Man in the High Castle - Season 1

Advancements in weapons

I'm glad that the show production had some sense to put weapons that are more correct for the 60s alternate time period, thought they could have tried to give the MP5s straight magazines, but still pretty cool. Though it's weird that some troops are armed with much older weapons and some are armed with newer ones. Excalibur01 (talk) 15:00, 15 February 2016 (EST)

Also I find it hard to believe that the SVD would exist in this alternate timeline since the Russians were completely wiped out. We can assume since the Soviet had no chance to let Kalashnikov achieve his dream of creating the AK, the SVD would not have been invented because it was inspired by the AK design.

100 yen for per bullet?

In Episode 4, Frank buys ammo from a store and the owner charges him 100 yen a piece. This doesn't make sense unless he was using dollars. 100 yen accounting for inflation would be worth $6.85 today and 3 would be $20.55. The line should have been converted from yen to dollars equal back then to make the price more worth it. 100 yen = to 87 cents today. Excalibur01 (talk) 15:35, 15 February 2016 (EST)

Designs of the alternate period

Still kinda bothers me that for at least the German side, it isn't as advanced as the book tells us. According to the book, the Germans have advanced to having operations on the moon at this point with a far more advanced tech look on their side compared to the Japanese, which understandably is lagging behind in tech because of their ways. This was pretty true in our timeline when it comes to most things, including weapons. Excalibur01 (talk) 16:32, 31 October 2016 (EDT)
