Default Bullet spin is in OPPOSITE directions

The direction of bullet rotation of two machine guns placed OPPOSITE each other will be OPPOSITE.

If the rifling in the barrel is clockwise, then the bullets from the gun in the RIGHT door will be spinning toward the REAR of the helicopter (and its forward motion).

The bullets from the gun in the LEFT door will spin toward the FRONT of the helicopter (and its forward motion).

The wind stream from the helicopter's forward motion will affect the bullets from each gun differently.
