I can see it's production increasing dramatically as soon as reunification was in the offing in an attempt to eventually equip former DDR units (as well as standard production for territorial and reserve units). It makes more sense to transition former DDR to a conventional 5.56mm rifle as opposed to a complex, caseless future rifle. By the time the nuclear war had paralyzed industry, I imagine quite a few more G41s circulating than G11s. That said, I think more DDR troops probably kept their own AKs than were issued with G41s.

A good soldier never throws away a good rifle.
I can see allot of western soldiers picking up an AK to be honest. It's always useful to have a back up weapon that uses the other guy's ammo.
