Take a look at the F-22 Raptor's belly: [link]. Doesn't it look
like it would be good at slamming into things? But,
unfortunately, it would almost certainly be damaged by doing
so.
Therefore, this idea is an airplane with a reinforced belly
instead of missile hardpoints/bays, which attacks
enemy
aircraft by flying directly at them and impacting them,
probably using Pugachev's Cobra [link] or a similar maneuver.
It probably would have to be unmanned due to the high
acceleration and precise control involved.

Extra reinforcement usually extra weight, affecting lift,
flight duration, etc. |

It would have such problems, but effectively unlimited
ammo would be pretty cool. |

Pleasingly demented. Croissant. |

So what exactly are the opposition doing while you're running at them trying to administer a Glasgow Kiss ? Firing off some flavour of standoff guided missile ? Spraying you with 30mm cannon rounds ? |

Dodging at the last second ... ? |
