Green, only gun is the ShKas, "green laser" in I153, I16, Jak-1, Jak-7, MiG-3, LaGG-3, IL2 + reargunners of IL2, Pe2, SB2, DB3, TB3, R10, IL4

Red, every single US plane apart from F4U1-C(4 cannoned corsair), every British plane apart from Tempest V and Spitfire Vc(4), Russian ShVak cannon in I16type24, LaGG3, Jak1, hurrcane field mod,Jak7, most Jak9s, La-5, also MGs of Ki27 and early Ki43s, IAr80 and IAR81, jap reargunners and Aich Val's guns, also most heavier guns have red tracer

White, UB HMG and B20 cannon in Jak1B, Jak7B, Jak9, Jak9U, Jak3 and 3P, La5FN, La7, most LaGG3s, Mig3, Jak3, IL10, hurri field mod, gunners of IL2, Pe2, Pe8, italian MG and HMG in FiatCr42, FiatG50, MC200, MC202, MC205, SM79, MGs and HMGs in Ki61s, Ki43s and Ki100

Yellow, Hispano Suiza cannon in Tempest V, Spitfires, Hurri IIc, P38, P400 and P39D, "that one american cannon" in F4U1-C, MK108 and MK103 in 109G6 to K4, FW190A8, A9, Ta152, Ki84c, Me163, Me262, MG-FF cannon in Bf109E, FW190A4 and A5, cannons in A6M2, 3 and 5, cannon and HMG in Ki84s, Ki100, reargunners of He111, Ju52, Ju87B2 and rear firing cannon in Betty, frontal firing cannon in He111

Orange, MG17 in Bf109E, F and G2, FW190A4, A5, A6, Me110, Ju87 B2s and D3's front guns

Purple, Ju88, Me110 and Ju87 D3, D5 and G1's gunners

Blue, MG151 and MG151/20 in Bf109F, G2(selectable at least with gunpods in all later 109s as well), all FW190s, MG131 HMG in Bf109G6 to K4, FW190A8, A9, D9, ta-152, MC205 series III, last Ki61, later Zeros, Me110


So, anything that fires blue, orange or purple is guaranteed to be Axis, anything firing green or combination of red and yellow or white is Allied. At the west front, anything firing white is Axis, anything firing red is Allied but that also nearly applies to Pacific and East Front.

The only 4 planes firing 3 different colours are FW190s from A4 to A6(orange, blue, yellow), Me110(blue, orange, purple), Pe-8(green, white, red) and LaGG-3 series 4(green, white, red).
