I'd say organization plays into it as much as technology.
Rioting peasants were generally acting out of desperation, and often without a plan laid out for the large body of people involved. Cases like Okinawa, and the Haitian Revolution, where there was clandestine training and plan-making across a vast body of slaves, deomstrate that an organized mass can successfully revolt, in spite of technological inferiority.
Also, consider that a Welsh longbow was infinitely superior in range and accuracy to your average guns, up until after the Civil War. |
