Weapon degredation seems kinda like unneccessary busywork. At least, in normal running gameplay. In a Hardcore Mode scenario, sure. In a game like Elder Scrolls, where you have no other stake in any weapons besides one being "better" than another? Okay. Even armor, I'm down with, because getting shot, or stabbed, or stung, or blown up tends to play a little havoc on your attire, and stitching up clothes that are presumably a few decades old seems fair.

But, with guns in Fallout, it kinda hits the threshold of unnecessary, especially when having to "repair" a shotgun with parts from another shotgun after shooting it just 12 times. Maybe just limiting ammo seems like a good tradeoff. Make finding ammo a bit harder. It's seriously easier to find ammo than money most of the time. If they make finding bullets less world-breaking to begin with, (or, at least, add weight) weapon degradation wouldn't be neccessary.
