masquenox,

Some frag grenades and claymore mines would have probably helped, too.

Technus,

John Brown needed reinforcements more than weapons, tbh. He had almost 200 Sharps carbines on hand prior to the raid.

Having vastly superior weapons might have helped with his recruiting efforts though.

The what now?

Not_mikey,

John brown was a violent abolitionist before the civil war. He led the raid on a military base called Harper’s ferry to get guns to trigger a slave revolt. Maybe with some kalishnikovs (ak-47) they might have been able to succeed.

So basically a reversed version of “The guns of the South”?
