What does this setting do?

Together with the maximum condition this forms the range SCUM rolls the found weapon's state from. The defaults of 0.2 to 0.3 mean NPC weapons are nearly always heavily worn and need repair or spare parts before working reliably.

That is a deliberate brake: you get the weapon but not its full performance. Raise the value and NPCs become a convenient source of ready-to-use equipment.
