I saw one picture of a guy lying prone on a bridge. I have no idea what was down range of his sights. If he was targeting federal officials Its likely he was breaking one law or another. Having weapons on your person however is not a crime in Nevada assuming your not a felon or otherwise prohibited person.
I don't think there is a legal standard for "intimidate federal officers" as thats subjective on the part of the officers.
Where I visit in Nevada the city is closely surrounded by BLM land. While it's not legal to discharge guns in the city except in designated areas it's perfectly legal to do so on BLM land. It's a weird mix of state and federal laws at play.
