You should just look at history books for the answers to this question. In the Civil War, the military had way more complex technology available to them than any civilian could own. The Southern states themselves decided to coordinate with each other to provide a united front against the enemy. A good portion of the U.S. military resigned, seized whatever military equipment they could, and opened the gates for their Southern buddies.
The biggest reason behind the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is for the people to have the ability to overthrow the government if it becomes necessary. In the worse case scenario, civilians could put up a stiff fight for any modern military force, just look at Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq, etc.
Even if the odds were very much against the success of a civilian revolt, such a drastic situation that would cause a general revolt wouldn't be worth living in anyway.
