 A few times now I have salvaged guns that are not for sale on market? Not aur or isk guns? Like the one today I got a specialist sniper rifle that had no other variations and not buyable? Its Meta 5 but I didn't really look at stats of it to compare. Anyone else seen this?

 Yes, Salvage has the chance to give you rare and high level weaponry. For example, I received the Thales Sniper Rifle, which does tons of damage, and isn't available anywhere.

 Yes, and this is one of the main reasons why the "pay to win" argument is wrong. It keeps this game from being pay to win, since the rare items are comparable and even better than most of the aurum items.

 There are different types of salvaged weapons not available on the market.
 
 There are creodron shotguns. Not rare, but not available on the market. And there are other such items.
 
 But there is also something like Krin's SIN-11 assault rifle. These are officer weapons and are rare. Some better than prototype gear. Like say, Balac's GAR-21 Assault Rifle. Which is the best AR I've come across.

 Specialist are not.
 
 A rare one would have a description of:
 
 "This is a rare weapon salvaged from the battlefield"
 or something like that.

 The Balac's GAR-21 Assault Rifle is awesome... too bad I don't have the skills to use it
  . 
 Edit: How many did you get? I got 10 of them.

 If this works as in EVE then until the player market (i.e. player to player sales) starts running then no there will be no other way to get them. They're rare and making them "salvage only" keeps them rare at a rate/balance set by CCP.

 I found this P-A something something scrambler pistol, it did 107 base damage per shot, I think I was comparable to some sniper rifles xD oh yeah it has a base clip of 12 so your max becomes 17 if you have the right skills. Crazy backup weapon.

 The Aurum items is like extra help, then you'll eventually sell it back to the market for ISK because you manage to get a better gun than the AUR item.
 
 I prefer using my AUR money to Skill boost, UVT than using it on weapons. You die with the AUR item is like losing a dollar.

 Baloc's PCP-30 Scrambler Pistol maybe? You can go to the information page on any scrambler pistol you own/is on the market and select the "variations" tab to see the names of all pistols currently in the game (I think), even the salvage-only ones. Unfortunately you can't yet see the stats on them.

 Question now that you have 5 copys of the officer weapon can you restock it for more in your dropsuit loadout?
 Or after 5 uses it goes away?

 the meta 10 weapons ones are known as Officer Weapons, these are the ones that have X's assault rifile, named weapons.
 
 These officer weapons also require profficency III in their weapon type and are much much better than any prototype equivalent, they usually have about 20% more damage and 20% larger clip size.
 
 From what i have seen, when you get an officer item you always get 10. You CAN NOT restock these from the market, the only way to get them is through a rare loot drop
 
 
 There are plenty of other weapons that dont appear on the market but unless they are similar to whats detailed above, they are not officer

 they should give these guns an insane price, and let you restock them if you get lucky enough to get one

 I have an appropriate reply to that one. But last time I used it, I got a warning from the GM. Sorry, you have to use your imagination.

 Parsons thank you yes it was that.
 Jenza you actually get them in groups of 5 it just so happens that you usually only notice once you have 10 of them. I've seen them in in the salvage list.
 
 Either way end result, officer loot is bloody awesome, I can see some people with tweaked out dropsuits worth like almost a mil or two using these and ripping people to shreds.
