Well it does no really. The people with the guns often don't have much political power. They just follow what other people tell them. From the other side of the barrel it doesn't seem like that though.
Is there the occasional political power behind a gun? Sure, but commonly not
The only reason that particular transfer of power is not called a revolution is because it isn't violent. It's kind of in the definition of the word. Peaceful transfers of power exist though.
