Wow!
The drop rate on uncommon weapon mods is atrocious.
I have 122 out of 160 uncommon characters and weapons.
AND I only have 19 out of 80 uncommon weapon mods.
I guess the only way to get these is to max uncommon?
Are the uncommon weapon mods this bad for everyone or just me?

Yes. The mods ussually come last for common and uncommon. They come right after characters for rares though. I already maxed everything out besides ultra rares.

It's not just you. Weapons and characters seem to have a higher priority, at least for me. Same goes for rares: I have several characters at X, but only one(!) rare mod so far.

It's just the way they drop. Once you max everything else out nothing but mods will drop. its the same for uncommon characters, weapons, and mods

Weapon mods will not drop as the primary item* in a crate unless they are the only option.
Crates have 1 primary item, and 4 secondary, except the premium, which has 2 primary, and 3 secondary.
So silver crates will only drop silver mod when 1 of the 4 fully random options is silver card, or you have all other silver.
The same applies for all rarities.
When a secondary card does turn into a given rarity, so if a gold pack does give a silver card it is equally likely to be any item of that rarity, meaning you will get more mods in crates one rarity tier higher than the mod.

How weird that they did this again.
Back when gear mods were first introduced for ME 3 MP, they had a normal drop rate for their rarity. The first few weeks they were around (if you were lucky enough to be buying packs during that period) it was easy to max out the common mods and get a solid start on the uncommon and rare ones.
Then they changed it so severely that, by a wide margin, mods had the lowest drop rate. On at least two of my accounts, I maxed out Rare weapons months before I maxed out Uncommon mods.

60/60 characters, 87/100 weapons and 1/80 mods here  I'm pretty sure I can max the Rares with Advanced Packs before getting all mods |

Mod drop rate is lower than weapon or character cards BUT once character and weapons are maxed you'll get a mod in every pack in this game. |
