I can tell you with 100% certainty, that if the majority of US citizens stopped supporting the government, currently available firearms would be sufficient to overthrow the gov.
An insurgency doesn't have to have superior, or even equal firepower to be effective. Insurgencies are almost always impossible to stop provided they have the support of the local population.
I don't believe the second amendment was written with the intent of only allowing 'certain' firearms. Afterall, many wealthy landowners owned their own cannon, which were employed in the revolutionary war.
