- the amount of time something takes to scrap varries by item. these times will be listed in the crafting database scrap table
Scrapper bench has a top grid and bottom grid
place items in the top grid and a countdown timer starts
when the timer reaches zero the scrapped contents of the item go to the bottom grid
time to scrap is based on the ingredents you recieve from the scrapped product.
perhaps 1 second per 10 sats value of returned ingredients
the ingredients in an ak47 has a base value of 230k based on the chart below, so the breakdown time would be 230k/10 = 23k seconds (383.33 minutes, 6.38 hours)
items break down in the order you add them to the table. things do not break down simultaneously. So whther you part a gun out or put the whole thing in, you will get the ingredients in the same amount of time. The only advantage would be choosing which ingredients you get first
