Quality heat guns will, just like a hair dryer, overheat and shut off..not to menition the heat produced could caught something to melt, or catch fire.
I use them all the time removing paint and varnish. Take it from me, you can get 3rd degree burns from them.
I would think someone would have the smarts to use heat tape wrapped around pipes. Barring being able to do that keeping the faucet dripping would work as well. I lived aboard last winter in Baltimore Harbor. My boat and the boats above me on the docks all had water. Our lines, even in the single digit weather the hoases that had to come from the dock to the water inlet never froze because we kept the faucets on slow flow.
