Nope it doesn't. It only dismantle items on demand if it needs their components. You can force it to dismantle them so by dropping them and use the scrap function on them.
Btw The mod is meant to dismantle some scrap you found inside a dungeon to only take the useful components.
I haven't had a chance to try this mod yet, but the idea is something I'd thought about a while back: If you could pre-mulch all your scrap, then you could get a list of actual components to see how many of each you have ahead of time.
Someone made a portable scrapper mod. You carry it with you so you can always turn your scrap into components wherever you are. But like all other scrapper mods, it won't turn armor and weapons into scrap.
I fear I don't have the matching papyrus commands to scrap armour or guns yet. (or get the amount of resources they contain) The algorithm is pretty simple: get available amount of component a remove all of them scraping items if needed, add the removed amount again, continue with component b...
Yeah - I realise it could be a bit difficult. In the game, if I drop a gun on the ground and select "scrap", It works quite well - I know nothing about scripting - but is it possible to make a container="the ground", then run "scrap" on the contents of the container? I suspect I have just proved that I'm an idiot - but hey - If you don't ask, you never find out.....
Sorry but it doesn't work this way, not all function of the main game are available to papyrus, too. I can only use what’s mentioned on this page: apyrus">link
I understand what Mike, but what I would do is collect a whole bunch of stuff, throw them all on the ground and then scrap each one by one. Is it possible if Multiple Items (Hold Scrap Button > List of Items Closeby appears > Optional: Choose which Items not to Scrap by Category/Sort > Optional:Exclude Items > Confirm Scrap) all at once.

I have noticed that others who make various scrapping mods also say they haven't been able to make it work with armor and weapons It seems to be a truly hard thing to do. Hoping to find one that did is why I was checking out this mod (I have been using Scrap-O-Tron) but have not yet found one for armor and weapons. I was hopeful once the CK came out, but no one has managed it yet. I started to play with it myself but only got as far as getting the armor and weapons into the container and making them not exist any more -- no returned components. Which kinda misses the point.
