any one know?

Go to the hangar and look.
Depending on your chosen directon of fire, it will either be an Allied bomber or an Allied attacker. If you want just the firepower from your general direction and forwards, you might want to look into the arsenal of the German Luftwaffe......

Most firepower or most guns? In game or in real life?
In game I'd go with the 110G, with the Typhoon a close second. The 110 isn't much of a "fighter" though.
For a rough calculation, you can figure that 1 Hispano is worth about 4 .50s, with the rest of the 20mm being roughly 2.5 .50s, except for MG-FF, which are about 1.5.
30mm is tough, the range is negligible but the damage is awesome. I rate them about the same as a Hispano.
So in terms of .50s you have the following -
110G - 4 x MG151/20 (2.5 apiece), 2 x 30mm Mk108 (4 apiece) ~ 18 .50s
Typhoon - 4 x Hispano 20mm (4 apiece) ~ 16 .50s
Other planes with "heavy" firepower -
190A8 - 2 x 30mm Mk108, 2 x MG151, 2 x 13mm (.75 apiece) ~ 14.5 .50s
190A8 - 4 x 20mm, 2 x 13mm ~ 13 .50s
N1K2 - 4 x 20mm Type99 ~ 10 .50s
Spitfires with .50s = 2 x Hispano , 2 x .50 ~ 10 .50s
Spitfires without .50s are close... I'd say roughly 9 .50s.
Fighter with craptacular firepower -
Hurricane I / Spit I - 8 x .303 ~ 2 .50s
P-40B - 2 x .50, 4 x .30 ~ 3 .50s
C202 - 2 x 13mm, 2 x 7.92 ~ 2 .50s... on a good day.
109E - 2 x 20mm MG/FF, 2 x 7.92 ~ 3 .50s.
109F/G-2 - 2 x 7.92, 1 x MG151 ~ 3 .50s.
109G-6 - 2 x 13mm, 1 x MG151 ~ 4 .50s.
Yak-9U - 2x 13mm , 1 x 20mm ShVAK ~ 4 .50s
Note that on the 190A8 and 110G you will practically never be hitting with the 20mm and the 30mm at the same time. Granted, if the 30mm hits you wouldn't need the 20mm in the first place, but it shows them as having heavier firepower than they will ever bring to bear.

hmmm try4 hispano's and 4 303's.
using your calc,equal to tyffie or temp
and if 4 303's equal 2 50's it would be
equal to 110. more likely tho they would be
1.5 50's so it rates a close second to 110:aok

And those firepower estimates are off.
The Hispano equals three 50 cals, not four. The MK108 30mm is probably about six or so.

In RL, Hurricane IIB and early Typhoons, with 12x .303".
