Keep in mind too that in reality they banned importation of guns like the Chinese AK version that could be turned into an automatic rifle easily and other weapons in 1994 - if that didnt happen in V1 you could have a hell of a lot more of those guns in the US

And I could see NA raiding museums and tank collections and other places to get weapons and vehicles - i.e. like the tank that was pulled out of a Ukrainian museum a few years ago by rebels

As to how they werent detected - with communications breaking down, people looking out for themselves, and with the remoteness of the areas they were in (with the very big exceptions of the HQ and the Florida branch) it might not have been as hard as you think
