I think it depends on the NFA device how much jeopardy it can put you in. For example, a silencer used on a firearm should not make any difference to the justification or use of force. But, a sawed off shotgun might be a different position. The most important possibility I can see where it makes a difference would be a fully automatic weapon. We have already seen cases where a person was justified in using deadly force, but too many shots fired made it excessive force. I would think an automatic weapon would make this much more likely. While you might justify the first shot or even two, can you justify 15 when the last three or four were after the suspect was on the ground? I am not sure if a destructive weapon, say a .700 elephant gun, would make a difference over a smaller weapon.
