CityRP does not let players break items, such as weapons, down into scrap metal.
Why
The first request, from 2015, was approved but then judged by the development team in 2017 to be unfeasible or nonviable at the time.
Asked again for weapons in 2019, it failed a staff vote. Weapons are common and cheap, while metals are meant to be rarer and more valuable, so scrapping would turn a cheap item into a scarce one: "The suggestion fails to take into account how common weapons are, and their price, vs the rarity of metals and their price." That is an economy exploit risk, which Live Trust Before Features puts first. Metal now comes from mining, and scrap from contraband, bins and the trashman.
