Diamondback rattlesnakes kill prey by injecting it with venom. The fangs are the tool they use for that. The fangs are hollow, and are used like hyperdermic needles to inject venom into prey.

Rattlers, even different species, will generally not fight. About the only "fighting" they do is between males and it is more of a wrestling match and the snakes do not employ their fangs and venom.
