He Pranked a DEA Agent With a Shotgun ๐
A person describes pranking a DEA agent during firearms training by pretending to be inexperienced with a shotgun. He acted nervous, loaded ammunition backwards, and performed other bumbling acts to fool the instructor before revealing his competence.
Summary
The speaker recounts a humorous incident during firearms training at Gleno in Florida. During shotgun training with a Remington 870, a female DEA agent was instructing trainees on proper loading and firing techniques, warning them about the weapon's recoil. The speaker deliberately acted inexperienced and nervous, pretending to struggle with basic operations like loading shells correctly - even putting ammunition in backwards with the brass facing the wrong direction. He continued the act by dropping shells and appearing clumsy throughout the process. After the DEA instructor patiently guided him through the steps and warned him to be careful due to the kick, he successfully fired the weapon and returned it to her. The prank was revealed when his competent handling contradicted his earlier bumbling performance, causing the DEA agent to call him an 'asshole' while other participants and instructors found the practical joke amusing.
