Begining with the Bf 109G-5 and continued thereafter, the fuselage mounted 7.9mm MG 17 machine guns were replaced with the heavier 13mm MG 131 machine guns which required a bulged housing for the cocking mechanisms. These were quickly labeled "Buele" by the pilots.

The 109G required two small scoops on each side of the nose and the G-6, since it was unpressurized, required a small air ventilation scoop on each side just below the windscreen.
