    And crates are no more "in-game" than the store is.

    I read it as mentioning two other weapons which are either available from crates or the store (besides the two you mentioned). Not that crates are considered in-game, as in finding them via game-play.

    All the weapons you mentioned can be adquired in-game, crates are part of the in-game rewards in case you didn't notice, you don't need to buy them from the store.

    Without the store, no crates. Therefor, crates =/= in-game.

    In regards to getting stuff in the store, you can easily get in excess of 1000 prestige points every single day (800 for the solo challenges, 50 for the community and 200 for the task force) - and that's before you even enter Ghost War - and for duplicates you'll be getting a lot of store credit.

    Simply put, if you've played Wildlands for even a few months, you'll be able to buy most of the non-DLC items in the long run for no cost to you other than maybe 30 minutes of gameplay time each day.

    There are indeed weapons which are not available via crates (whether one wishes to classify them as "in-game" or not.) Two which come to mind IIRC are the customizable LVOA and M110 sniper rifle - as mentioned.
