Based on Maria's battlepack theory, I present an interesting statistics.
According to Maria's battlepack theory, 18 self-loading rifle skins are not dropped by the battlepack.
Nowadays, these 18 self-loading rifle skins can only be obtained through a scrap exchange (There are 18 self-loading rifle "exhange exclusive" skins).
I was curious how many times Dice put these 18 self-loading rifle "exhange exclusive" skins into the exchange.
What could be the rarest, "hardest to get" self-loading rifle skin in the BF1 game?
I had three "exchange tracking" databases to help me (Battlefield 1 fandom page's exhcange tracking, Jaqub Ajmal ex-Dice Producer's Twitter tracking, and my, HUN_gattaca_lg's exchange tracking).
Battlefield 1 fandom page's exhcange tracking:
https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Battlepack/Battlefield_1_Retired_Series
-from the first scrap exchange (Exchange #23 - scrap exchange is new feature in BF1 - Added on March 14th, 2017, and taken off the rotation March 24th, 2017)
-to EXCHANGE #111 (Added on October 29th, 2018 taken off the rotation November 5th, 2018)

These 18 self-loading rifle "exhange exclusive" skins are arranged in ascending order according to the number of occurrences in Exchange.
I use year.month.day date format.
I think it is noticeable based on my statistics, that the appearance of the skins in the exhange is not completely random.
Self-loading rifle skins for Battlefield 1 Premium Pass's weapons (TSNP= They shall not pass DLC, TSAR= In the Name of the Tsar DLC, TIDE= Turning Tides DLC, APOC= Apocalypse DLC) appear less often in the exchange than base game weapon's skins (most BF1 players only have the base game without DLCs, and Dice favors them).
