During recent armored unit training exercises, the German Army introduced the new HK G95KA1 assault rifle, chambered in 5.56×45mm. The weapons feature updated HK optimizations. Photographs show soldiers using older Hensoldt ZO optics with 4‑x magnification, even though the plan was to equip the rifles with newer ELCAN Specter optics of similar magnification, which have not yet been delivered.
