Manganese is brittle, and will burn hot as **** if it catches.
Some people will always waste their money.

I'm assuming you meant magnesium as manganese is an entirely different element. Autocorrect?
Sorry to nitpick, but might as well be accurate. A manganese lower wouldn't be very lightweight, it's more than double the density of aluminum, let alone magnesium.
Magnesium-vs-Manganese
Hell, even if you made everything out of magnesium that is normally aluminum your weight savings wouldn't be that substantial if most of the weight is coming from the steel barrel anyway.
The transmission and engine block in three of my cars are magnesium. I don't think you'll have to worry about spontaneous combustion.
Off topic but a local fireman was killed from an explosion when he put a dumpster fire out with water. The dumpster was filled with scrap magnesium from a machine shop. I've seen motorcycle accidents where the bike lit up like a welders arc when it crashed. Nasty stuff to be around when shit goes awry...
