As a career military officer, I guarantee that a majority of servicemen would reject any unconstitutional orders to seize citizens' firearms or attack those who refuse to give up them up. I imagine you'd have mass resignations and subversion from within the ranks. "No sir, we didn't find any weapons there. They were all lost in boating accidents." This is one reason that Obama tried to place loyal partisan leftist hacks throughout the DoD.
Maybe it's different on the commissioned side, but the enlisted side in the Army had far too many NCO's that didn't really care and were more concerned with promotion and doing anything to squeeze onto that ever smaller list than doing what was right.

When Obama removed all those Officers/Generals.. I had the Chill of Stalin purging his military staff ...back before WWII broke out...
Obama followed that practice - https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/197-military-officers-purged-by-obama/

That was before. There are communists in the ranks.
Thank you for your service!
