Ammunition was limited with the cannons, but one well-placed burst could critically damage or destroy a fighter. Because of their strengths, the BF-109 was used as fighter hunter and interceptor. The Germans also used heavy fighters to escort the bombers and dive bombers. The BF-110 was a dual-engine, heavy fighter with heavy firepower.
