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.
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.
