Albright v. Oliver, 510 U.S. 266, 307 (1994)
... to name just a few!
While these do touch on firearms tangelntally, none of them is a direct ruling
on the MEANING of the 2nd amendment WRT individual rights or types of arms
covered.
Miller is that last case to do so, and the plaintiff was dead at the time of
the arguments, so only the government case was heard.
But Miller did affirm the right of the people to bear arms useful in the
militia, which is defined by federal law as all persons not debarred by law
(like convicted felons) capable of bearing arms.
So, if you want to fit your piper with sidewinders or .50 cal Brownings, that
would be protected, but it is doubtful that should you wish to fit it with
derringers or sawed off shotguns, that might be a problem.
