It could be used to make lighter airplanes, spacecraft, and cars, What about guns?

Might be good for a frame/receiver. Probably not good for a barrel.

I think the flammability would also be an issue with making a gun out of it, at least the firing chamber and barrel. Gunpowder definitely burns hot enough to ignite magnesium.

What about guns? They already make guns out of the lightest materials. Steel (or possibly Titanium or a steel insert with carbon fiber wrap)) for the barrel and hard-wearing parts. Plastic frames. Get too light and the gun is unmanageable. As in, it hurts to fire it.
