Nunberg's behind will be polishing a stainless steel bench in the Federal hoosegow when the server is unhooked and hauled away. No reason to resort to gunplay.
For exercising his 5th amendment?
Remember what happened to the judge that slapped a reporter in jail for not revealing her sources?
He is not a happy camper today.
Another thing he can do is produce some transcripts but redact all the names and most of the nouns.
If its classified, or subject to attorney client privilege, he wouldn't be lawfully permitted to produce those records anyway. Another thing the grand jury (Which must be a bunch of idiot laypeople) doesn't understand. And really its Mueller's fault for doing such a crappy job of coaching them on their bogus fishing expedition.

A valid question.
From Wikipedia:
Witnesses compelled by subpoena to appear before a grand jury are entitled to receive immunity in exchange for their testimony. The grant of immunity impairs the witness's right to invoke the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination as a legal basis for refusing to testify.
Per 18 U.S.C. § 6002 , a witness who has been granted immunity but refuses to offer testimony to a federal grand jury may be held in contempt. In addition, grand jury witnesses may be prosecuted for perjury or making false statements in their testimony.
In Kastigar v. United States , 406 U.S. 441 (1972), the US Supreme Court confronted the issue of the type of immunity, use or transactional, constitutionally required to compel testimony. The Court ruled that the grant of use and derivative use immunity is sufficient.
...........
Hence if after granting immunity another person has evidence against Nunberg, he can be prosecuted.
I think your question extends more to withdraw of immunity. Given the fact that Nunberg appears to not have provided the requested testimony the offer of immunity can likely be withdrawn.
Could have been a combination of things, Erin Burnette said she smelled alcohol on his breath during her interview, sometimes people who are bi-polar experience a manic high which is similar to being high on cocaine or he could have just been high on cocaine and was drinking. Regardless a heavy crash is imminent.
It works for Bill Maher. He's only sober when he runs out of money for hookers and blow.
When he gets a paycheck its right back on the crazy train.
Can't be in (criminal) contempt of court, because the subpoena is not issued BY a court. You cannot be in criminal contempt of a grand jury. It is a civil action....and thus can be ignored.
This is not a civil grand jury, this is a criminal grand jury. You cannot ignore this.
