Would you happen to be able to provide these figures:

The ratio of human resources-to-firepower on the current generation of weapons.

The ratio of human resources-to-firepower on the weapons used during eras where oppression was common.

I'd like to compare them.

Hmm, "firepower" is vague. I think the relevant number here would be something along the lines of how many people can be killed or subdued in a conflict situation.
