For fear of damaging them before they filmed the "Superman crushes gun" scenes?

Just watched a Season 1 episode of VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, "The Indestructible Man," in which the crew of the Seaview empty their guns, then throw them, at a robot gone wild in the mess hall. (A lot of the soundtrack for this outing is from THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, but the robot here looks more inspired by Republic serials than Gort.)
