When the Gerhardts approach the Motor Hotel, Hanzee is left to guard Floyd. The shot from the front shows his rifle propped on one shoulder. Then the camera shows a reverse-angle shot of the men dispersing. In the reverse shot, Hanzee's rifle is at his side (barely visible).
The location of the coffee pot's carafe changes between shots.
When Hank is speaking to the local Captain Cheney, he tells him that he served in the "Great War" in the liberation of France. "The Great War" generally refers to WWI, and the Liberation of France is a term used when speaking about WWII. In 1979, Hank would have needed to be around 80 years old to have served in WWI, and his character is likely in his mid/late 60's as Ted Danson is in real life. Hank would have to be referring to WWII; in an earlier episode he tells Lou a war story that is clearly from WWII, so to call it "The Great War" is erroneous.
When Bear is calling out to his brother, he racks his shotgun, but nothing is ejected. The shotgun he was carrying wasn't even loaded with blanks when this scene was shot. A pump shotgun would eject the spent cartridge while moving a fresh one into the chamber. No shells (loaded or otherwise) are seen.
This is true, unless there was no round in the chamber and rounds in the magazine (or tube in this case), no shell would be ejected and a fresh round would be loaded into the chamber.

In the book, The HISTORY of TRUE CRIME in the Mid West, by Mr. Brixby, several paragraphs are repeated a number of times on different pages. The paragraph starting 'Both were born and raised in Luverne a town of just three thousand people' is repeated 4 or 5 times on different pages.
(10:32:45) Captain Jeb wants the Blumquists to get the KC bad guys to "impugn" themselves on tape. Impugn (to attack as false or lacking integrity) doesn't mean what he thinks it does.
