12. F-22 Holds Its Weapons Internally
Unlike the F-15 and F-16, the F-22 Raptor holds its weapons internally. It carries all its weapons inside its fuselage. There are three bays on the aircraft. The main bay can support six AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles (or two JDAM bombs for ground attack); the other two bays hold two AIM-9 Sidewinders. There are also M61A2 20-mm multi-barrel cannon hidden behind a stealth door. The purpose of the internal design is to lessen visibility, but if stealth is not a necessity, the F-22 is more than capable of carrying weapons and fuel tanks under its wings externally.
