The US military has far more advanced equipment for war and more powerful weapons but that calculation is irrelevant. I would guess that even most of the military would immediately defect if they ever got an order from Washington to shoot their own citizens. There would be some that would follow through of course. But I don't think they have any chance against the civil population, their logistics would almost immediately deteriorate and it would be a quick decisive loss within days. Much faster when large parts of the civil population is indeed armed and also supported by the part of the military that joins them. Authoritarianism is successful when it can overwhelm and remove all opposition. That is very likely not the case in the US, conflicted as it may currently be (I am not from the US). But true that the largest weakness would probably be that the populace has different opinions about who should win here.
