Obviously if you look it up you'll find a few boutique examples. Why isn't this stuff used on a massive scale though? S&W uses scandium so there's that. There's plenty of aluminum frame autoloaders.
I've been using magnesium worm drive saws for years and it seems durable enough. I mean obviously a firearm and a circular saw are two insanely different things. My point is that the stuff seems to be incredibly strong, while being super light. Maybe it's expensive? Again, Skilsaw has been using it for decades and outside of paying for the brand name, a magnesium worm drive saw don't really cost noticably more than a plastic one.
