In the V1 timeline, ammo availability seems to be the only reason anyone wouldn't be using a G11. When you look at it, it's a brilliant weapon.

In V2, which mirrors reality a bit closer in the early years, the G11 is probably still available (roughly 1,000 were produced IRL with some finding their way into the military). Chances are though that you'd either have to be very lucky to find one, or be in an elite unit (and even then they'd be scarce). On the other hand, an entire unit in the rear might be equipped with them - ammo consumption being nowhere near that of a combat unit, some individuals may even still have a few rounds they were issued with at the beginning of the war!.
