Corrected entry: The ray-gun used by Retik, the ruler of the moon people, is of a very inefficient design, as it will only fire a single shot before needing to be reloaded, a process that takes a surprisingly long time.
Radar Men From The Moon (1952)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Fred C. Brannon
Starring: Aline Towne, George Wallace, Roy Barcroft, William Bakewell
Factual error: Since this film serial was made in the early 1950s there are many scientific inaccuracies about the moon in it, not the least of which is that, according to the story, the moon has exactly the same gravitational pull as Earth.
Graber: How 'bout a ride to town, mister?
Motorist: Sure. Hop in.
Graber: There's a man in a flying suit chasing us. Step on it.
Motorist: Huh?
Trivia: Clayton Moore, who later went on to fame as the masked heroic vigilante "The Lone Ranger," was unmasked in this film. This is one of the few films in which Moore's face is fully visible.

Correction: Much like the fire-locks, flint-locks and other muskets that were one shot and took a long time to reload. Who knows how technology advanced on the Moon for the moon people. Maybe that was their first creation of a ray-gun.
