The Hurricane, however, has gradually changed its role thanks to the adoption of specific versions.  The Hurricane Mk. IIC, in  fact, has a significant armament formed by  four 20 mm. cannons mounted in the wings. The adoption of the 20mm cannons. , Instead of the traditional 7.7 mm machine guns. , have made the Hurricane extremely effective in the ground attack and close support missions. The Hurricane Mk.
