Years ago, someone (ahem) wrote some professional article picked up by a jury consultant publication that indicated that weapons used in an ambiguous SD claim might influence a jury. It followed other studies indicating similar processes. There was some push back as:
1. This doesn't count in a good shoot which of course your shoot will be! You won't even get charged!
2. The study is obviously from an antigunner trying to ban modern sporting rifles. Thus from the Rittenhouse trial:

Binger questioned Rittenhouse about his choice of an AR-15 when he was purchasing a firearm, adding that “it resembled the types of weapons that are used in first person shooter video games,” in which gamers “pretty much shoot anyone who comes at you.” Rittenhouse retorted that video games are not “real life” and that many types of guns are represented in them, including pistols, shotguns, etc.
“I don’t really understand the meaning of your question,” he said.
Weapons type - never comes up in court for your good shoot. Snarky me.
The prosecutor is getting Kyle to why he would bring his rifle with 30 rounds! OMG. He is thinks is clever but is badgering him with senseless questions that certainly don't show some predmediated, shoot the looter intent.
_______ Not discussing the trial itself, just indulging myself on whether such issues do surface.
