What is an ounce-force?

An ounce-force is a non-SI unit of force representing the weight of one avoirdupois ounce under standard gravity, approximately 0.278 newtons.

When should I use meganewton as a force unit?

Meganewton is suited for measuring very large forces, such as those in rocket thrust or heavy structural engineering.

Why do converted values from ozf to MN appear so small?

Because ounce-force measures very small forces and meganewton very large forces, resulting numerical values are extremely small and often need scientific notation.
