What is most important are not so much the physical weapons but the social control tools at their disposal. In order to even get to the stage of an organized revolutionary group waging armed conflict you need to overcome the social conditioning and the overwhelming narrative control that the bourgeois state exercises through its control of the media, educational institutions, etc.
I think your response is the most relevant. The bourgeoise can’t kill everyone, at least not without destroying the world also (nukes). So weapons aren’t a huge factor.
Control is much more important. And most propaganda tools to control society are already really old. Think about blaming minorities for all your problems that goes back to a couple thousand years.
