battlefield-4
So I can see in my detailed stats that my longest headshot is 154m
However I have also got 3 Marksman ribbons, which are awarded for a 250m headshot.
Why is my longest headshot statistic not shown as 250m or longer? Does the ribbon only count for shots with a sniper rifle?
Took me some fiddling but I found how to find your unlock progression for weapons. For some reason, the BF4 battlelog doesn't open this when you click on your weapon from the stats page (like it did in BF3).
To access the unlock progression of a weapon, click on soldier, then Unlocks. By default, this shows a page with all your unlocks like this:
After selecting a weapon, if you mouse over any attachment, it will tell you your progression in (X out of Y kills for the unlock). The orange bar helps too.
As for what is in the battlepacks, they are random attachments for the weapons + XP Boost from what I could see when I got them (same for my friends). The main difference from the levelling battlepacks is that the levelling battlepacks seems to give you attachments for random weapons from your inventory (even some you haven't unlocked yet).
I can only speak from my personal experience, but I have observed that kills and assists are the only sources of xp counted for weapons. Other experience (spot bonus, etc) seems to go towards leveling the class you are on.

The description is very misleading.
When you get a headshot that's over 50 meters, you get a Marksman score bonus (1 point per meter). If you accumulate 250 Makrsman bonus points in a round, you get 1 Marksman ribbon.
Example: If you make 5 x 50 meter headshots, you get 1 Marksman ribbon, or 2 x 125 meter headshot.
Every weapon counts.
