You are going to get the maximum that the court could give you on the probation as well as a consecutive sentence for possession of any loaded weapon. Prosecutors do not reduce gun charges, especially for assault rifles.

Perhaps the rest of the probationary period in jail, and in addition any time for the newer charges. We do not know your prior record or if there are any convictions, nor the strength of the evidence against you and just cannot guess.

Guns and drugs equal prison for at least 4 years. Top end depends on probation charge.

For the probation violation it depends on the underlying charge. But for the illegal possession of a firearm, in Michigan they could be also charged with felony firearm and get a flat two years in prison and THEN serve time after that on the other charges.
