Armament: Four 30mm MK-108 A3 Cannons  

In the role of an air superiority fighter, the Me-262 carried a very heavy armament with four 30mm MK-108 Cannons.  Attempts were also made to arm the jet with 12 R4M air-to-air rockets under each wing. The results proved to be a perfect combination of weapon and platform. However, the rockets were never manufactured in great enough quantities to affect the course of the war.  When configured as a fighter-bomber, only the upper two cannons were fitted onto the airplane. Centerline racks allowed the airplane to carry two 250lb bombs.
