Maybe I'm underestimating what a bunch of slavers with muskets can accomplish, but I think one could sally out and just capture that artillery, no? Would they even understand what kind of fire power they were up against? Think about how poorly the military leadership adapted to technology advancements like machine guns during WWI, and then put that power into the hands of a single mobile soldier instead of a fixed position. I just don't see how that kind of advantage could be overcome.

I do think the sheer terror of an automatic weapon would probably fuck up the opposition pretty good. Probably sending a force of normal for the time dudes and flanking with a ar 15 guy would be best. All guns are gonna be on your AR 15 guy so you still wouldn't wanna be too sure of yourself.
