Are the new weapons available as random drops?
It's been awhile since the last weapons-including update, and I cannot recall if new weapons are immediately added to the randomly dropped weapons the game gives out during play.

Well, a Tide Turner dropped for me, and I recall other weapons dropping for other people, so there's no reason to assume the other new weapons don't drop.
I'm seeing claims on the wiki that the bread reskins do not drop, though I'd sit on that for a bit until it becomes fully operational again before trusting it.

Drops are guaranteed to happen between 30 and 70 minutes of play time. On average this is about every 50 minutes, up to a max of ten 10 hours in one week. You won't get any more item drops if you have played more than the 10 hours in a single week.How rare are random hat drops TF2?

Answer 2
Given that the bread boxes are only available for craft until July, I would say that the reskinned items will not drop now, doubtful ever. I've gotten drops of the new weapons but have only unboxed the reskins, which are most commonly unique quality and sometimes strange. Ideally, the reskins will become worth more than a few hats in the future but we can only speculate. I would not expect to be able to get more bread boxes for more reskin opportunities after July 9th.
