What does this setting do?
Every shot costs durability, and this multiplier sets how much. At 0 weapons never wear from firing; at 2.0 they wear twice as fast as intended.
The value governs demand for cleaning kits and spare parts, and therefore a steady reason to visit a trader or go looking. On servers awash with ammunition it is a good counterweight: shoot a lot and you have to maintain.

What to watch out for
Automatic weapons suffer most
Sustained fire burns durability in seconds. A high value therefore hits automatics harder than single fire — often the intent, but worth knowing.
