See PFRPG2, page 46 (second column, last paragraph on the page) which clearly states weapons have an average of 50 S.D.C.

and indestructable weapons arn't indestructable, they only seem to be.. They have 500 SDC and regenerate damage 1d6 SDC per minute. (just throwing a house rule out there. (c: )

My house rules are as follows.

You have to target the weapon (with your physical or magical attack).

For normal weapons you have to do at least 3 times the weapons
max damage to have a chance to break it. This gives you a base chance
of 30% to break non-metal weapons and 20% to break metal weapons.

Every point of damage over 3 times the weapons max damage is another
percentage point onto the break chance.

Kobold weapons have to be subjected to 4 times the weapons max
damage and the break chance is 25%/15% respectively.

Dwarven weapons have to be subjected to 5 times the weapons max
damage and the break chance is 20%/10% respectively.

Magic weapons have to be subjected to 10 times the weapons max
damage and the break chance is 15%/ 5% respectively.

Indestructible magic weapons are just that -- very sturdy.
