What does this setting do?
The default of 1.0 means always. Kill and search an armed NPC and you get its weapon. A lower value turns that into a gamble.
This matters more for a server's supply level than it sounds: NPC weapons are a dependable source of military gear, independent of building loot. To keep weapons scarce without cutting loot, this is the right lever.
