well

there still would be a bit of gunflash anyway

would it be from just the gun anyway because it is light and light goes everwhere and then into the cockpit then reflect from there

No....light goes in ONLY a straight line (in these conditions), any reflection just like balls bouncing off rails on a pool table. The nose guns at best would seem a glow past the nose cone yet have no where to reflect in. The side gunpacks only having the engine cowlings to reflect off of, and then even that just the tiniest bit of the forward radius.

In the end, you'd have no visible flash in the cockpit let alone it blinding out the dash like it does.
