Agony of the Feet: Coulson jumps in the air and kicks one goon's shotgun downward before landing and grabbing it. The gun goes off and blows off half the dude's foot. |

Donut Mess with a Cop: Or with a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent — the reason Coulson goes into the store is to buy donuts, and can't choose between chocolate or frosted. So he buys them both. |

comment |
With My Hands Tied: Rather than use his pistol against two robbers with shotguns, Coulson kindly announces that he has the gun while their backs are to him and slides it over before defeating them with a sack of flour and martial arts skills. Then, not even out of breath, checks out, strolls off to his now full car and goes on his merry way. |

Improbable Weapon User: Only a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent would use their weapon as a distraction against armed men, and instead attack with a sack of flour. |

Badass Bystander: A couple of crooks happen to rob a gas station where a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is buying donuts. Too bad for them. Lucky for them, he decides not to use his gun. |

I Just Shot Marvin in the Face: Averted when Coulson warns the two crooks that throwing his gun might cause it to go off, and he recommends sliding it over instead. Played straight when one of the crooks accidentally shoots himself in the foot, due to Coulson kicking the barrel down. |
