If anything, it's the G11 which would have ramped up production rather than the G41. The G41 was really just a cheaper stopgap to issue to supporting troops and undoubtably would have been replaced in time by the G11 (say 10-15 years down the track when their was sufficient numbers/newer improved versions of the G11 issued to the combat troops).

Wouldn't be the first time that a stopgap became standard issue, or the last.
