In practical use, the science skill determines what resources, if any, you will receive from disassembling weapons. Lower level weapons (9mm Mauser, BB Gun) yield sometimes Junk, and often nothing. Upper tier weapons, however, can return Metal Parts and even Alloys.
Science is also a requirement for harvesting some materials. Specifically, Iron Ore, Minerals and Flint. A moderate science skill is also needed to craft Metal Parts, Gunpowder, Alloys and Rot Gut. In addition, the Science skill is needed for several professions.
