I installed all of the FWE package, along with MMM, a couple of years ago. As of last night I started a new playthrough. It's been a good 18 months since I played last.

My character is a sneaky sniper and is utilizing the sniper rifle... a lot. Well, not as much as he would like to. This is hindered by the lack of .308 rounds and while he can craft the ammo, I am finding a dire need of scrap metal. The schematics page on the Nexus states that in 2009 with the update of v1.6, you should be able to extract scrap metal along with gunpowder when breaking down other munitions.

Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case. Granted I have only extracted gunpowder form shotgun shells. However...

Is there some other way, if not by extraction form ammo, to produce scrap metal? I ask if it is within FWE as I'm not too keen on messing with my set up. I fear I may corrupt my current game as I am not as attune to manipulating the game as others.
