Gold is too soft to hold an edge.

Gold has been used as decoration on a variety of weapons (e.g. swords, knives, firearms) but served no functional purpose there.

Gold is used in most modern electronics based weapons systems to protect connector contacts from corrosion.

Gold is used in some IR seeker heads in air to air missiles. It reflects IR from mirror surfaces better than any other element, allowing precision IR optical mirrors to be built.
