 LOL, mercs!
This event (not really an event, more like just an "occurence" CCP is telling us to keep an eye out for), is reported to ONLY be noticeable in Public Contract Matches.
And since the typical salvage that occurs in Pub Matches is (as good as) ZERO, I don't think we should be expecting a Christmas Snowfall of weapons being handed out like candy!
Besides, this is still DUST 514---a game (THE game) that is famous for Callousness, Mercilessness, and Bone-cutting Absence of Sympathy to its players ( all in the name of good New Eden fun!). It would be unreasonable to expect more than one or two weapons appearing on your after-battle screen, per every 3 or 4 matches.
My "Dust" math on that, would equal... 6 officer weapons collected per every 6 hours of gameplay? ( .... )
I will start my first matches tonight, and I will leave a report here.
(And though it would IMPLY no FW matches, someone should still try the FW matches and see what happens)
Really, don't let your hopes rise too high. When did Dust every throw you more than a bone in most of their events. (Gotta love those "DEV"-ilish imps.  )
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...

I was right, I think:
For the four hours of Skirmish and Domination matches, I encountered VIRTUALLY EVERY MATCH = "No Salvage".
One match = the tyical M1 Locus Grenade
One match = 3X GHALAG'S MODIFIED MRT-17 RAIL RIFLE (the only officer's weapon of the entire night).
It's interesting that ONE match granted me a box of "3X " the GhalagGÇÖs Rifle---like a box fell off the back of a passing truck (not one gun in 3 separate skirmishes, which would have made sense to me).
Not complaining, LOL. This is what I EXPECTED from the event. CCP is an enjoyable sadist!
It would be interesting to find out, if between 20th and 27th, these weapons are being made available by an automatic tennis-ball-server type mechanism, or if they are made available as each of us who finds one USES it in the field and drops it for others to salvage as weGÇÖre killed.
....Recycled gifts? LOL.
