Soldiers of the 1st Company, Panzerpionierbataillon 701 in Gera, Germany, have started training on the G95, the rifle their unit is due to receive later.

About 12,000 G95 rifles have arrived in Bundeswehr armories since December 2025 as the G36 is replaced. The service expects 20,000 G95 KA1 carbines in use by the end of the year and 250,000 rifles in A1 and KA1 versions by 2032.

Complete fielding for this company remains about a year away, so instructors can prepare for the change in advance.
