The game designers made available an argument in an .ini file that allows adjustment of the 'wear and tear rate' for items. The difficulty (or annoyance) factor of this feature varies greatly between different players of the game. I felt there was enough game balance just trying to scrounge ammo, because I turned off monster respawning.
Oh yes, it is a file called user.cfg in the games main install directory. Here are the contents. Hope this is helpful.

; System Shock 2's ecologies look at how many monsters are in a given area.

; lower_spawn_min <n>
; reduces the defined minimum monster count on all ecologies by <n>.
; raise_spawn_rand <n>
; lowers the chance of a monster randomly spawning by changing the random chance from 1/i to 1/(i+<n>).
;is a multiplier for the rate at which your weapons degrade. For example, to completely eliminate weapon;degradation & breakage, set the value to 0. To tone it down, set it somewhere between 1 and 0.
