I think the real take away from you scenario is that guns are dangerous and just slapping them onto things willy nilly is not a great idea.
Otherwise I think we can put your fear right behind "the AI learns magic and casts spells" in our risk assessment.

There is a very large and entrenched industry in the US who's purpose can be summed up as "slapping guns onto things willy nilly." 2. The existence of cybersecurity as an exploding career field shows that internet packets are all that is needed to cause harm. Even if AI hacking skill is weak, thousands of sessions can be ran 24 hours a day and most companies still do not invest in security.

Hacking into some critical infrastructure for example, or using its model of the human psyche to convince a vulnerable human to do its bidding.
