I wonder what would have happened at Tienanmen Square if the Chinese students had been armed.

If they didn't have antitank weapons they most likely would have been slaughtered still.

Not a lot, because the Chinese military had tanks there. I think bullets bounce off tank armor.

We would have witnessed the tanks firing.

Good afternoon.
“I wonder what would have happened at Tienanmen Square if the Chinese students had been armed.”

There would have been more dead students, but the fuse would have been lit, dissension would have spread, and who knows what China would be like now.
