The Amazing Killer Pistol Shrimp From Sun

[JonathonWolf]

I don't mind the pistol sound as it is to provide context for the viewer, but the jump cuts they used every freaking time were annoying. I don't think they showed the sonic attack in real time once; each one cut to a shrimp.

[emcosta1981]

Pistol shrimp with pistols!

[MrOmegatronic]

I wonder... think you could give Superman a power boost by having a hundred pistol shrimp snap at him?

[IPIay]

Damn nature you scary!

[macuser1232]

faaaakkeee

[IPIay]

@macuser1232 and ur gay :P

[pievs50cal]

@macuser1232 They added a pistol sound effect, but it's completely real.

[johntheant]

PIstol shrimp: POW HAHA.( heavy weapons shrimp)

[bloggerG]

The noise is fake but those things are scary shit ... if they weren't 4 inches long

[MediocreGenius]

faaaaaaaaaake

[Lioyd1rving]

@MediocreGenius Oh how smart you are, denying the validity of anything remotely interesting.

[tallguy7890giant]

@MediocreGenius this thing is real my aquatic science teacher has an adolecent one and aquariums have had problems with these things breaking the glass

[byakumaruZ]

[flipperboy]

Pistol Shrimp used Bubble

It was Super Effective

[thegeetarrguy]

does it actually sound like a gun or is that effects?

[Lioyd1rving]

@thegeetarrguy You actually need to ask? You've heard those same sounds dozens of times before in movies.

[Zodiarkz]

@yoshisuniverse You'd be surprised what humans are capable of. We aren't as lame or weak as we seem : ) We're actually quite a dangerous animal ourselves.

[finger11yo]

i want to see a pistol shrimp vs the mantis shrimp who delivers a punch with the same speed of a 22 caliber bullet

[mountaindude5]

[ChirtyPoundsOfBoost]

[dpatchpatch]

@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost we shouldn't underestimate the crab people.

[sugoi14]

@ChirtyPoundsOfBoost thinking the SAME thing.....wtf.

[ArcticAndyV2]

Pistol shrimp i choose you:

Pistol shrimp you supersonic

[heyrhan29]

new name hadouken shrimp!

[Vennificus]

I would like to make the point that the Temperature is slightly less than the surface of the sun. Both the core and the Corona are far, far hotter.

[linkinpark9sc]

What's with the sound effects.. sheesh.

[NatalieDumDooDumDum]

Thats sad. Poor shrimp ;(

[sarimk99]

this is actually the loudest animal in the world even louder than the blue whale and can make humans deaf.

[KatzuyaSagara]

Needs to get a pokemon based on this species..o,o..

Boom

[ReikaiDemon]

@KatzuyaSagara They sorta implement this in the anime, by having crustacean pokemon use attacks out of their claw. Bubblebeam sorta fits.

[DroPShoTShArPShOoTeR]

If you have enough of these you can make a hot tub lol

[Hawkadw]

lol

[robotbull]

HADOUKEN!!!

[BreakingNewZealand]

if u get a few hundred of them, train them for a body guard, youll be all good.

If your swimming lolz.

[willy101010]

only if america mutated them to be much larger, unstoppable ocean power LOL

[ZeroBeat1]

This video is begging for a WTF BOOM! parody.

[EIoweiss]

[ak4x6]

[justinlik3me]

[Peace940]

Amazing creation of Allah (God).

[maryamx5]

[YoungbloodFilms]

[JCSousa7]

holy shit, its like pokemon bubble attack, but it actually does damage :\

[HELLISHHANDZ]

I am impressed with that

[villie91]

you got knocked the fuck out

[cloud6531]

O__O holy shiz reaches the temp of the sun XD gawd dam dude thats fawkin awsome tho i wonder wat would happen if it hit a human o_o

[Demondestiny0x]

It would just sting. Its far too small to do significant damage. or so I tink

[SeeProfileForDetails]

Also on the other hand, why would a good God create such a evil, stupid, idiotic creature with a built in Gun? What kind of violent sick mad man would create such a violent ugly atrocity of hell?

[SoldatSolutrea]

Oh wow evil, stupid, and idiotic eh? You really did a number on this one with your judgement, good job. This crustacean is an outstanding example of evolutionary advantages.

[SeeProfileForDetails]

Moron that was my point - it ain't god, it's fucking evolution

[Demondestiny0x]

Why would good God create such an evil, resource sucking, genius creature that has no limits to its knowledge? What kind of violent sick mad man would create such a unpredictable-

Naw. God didn't make those things. Its called EVOLUUUUTION.

[sugoi14]

@SeeProfileForDetails lol

[SeeProfileForDetails]

what is weird is this shrimp just randomly figured this out through evolution.... that bubbles kill things.. must have been just playing around with its claws over millions of years.. odd

[shiron236]

It's called "survival of the fittest." This offers a mere shrimp a powerful weapon to defend itself. And why are you bringing in religion into this? Everything you have thus said now is your own opinion.

The finest of the species develop into the animals we see today. Species going extinct today are natural also as they cannot adjust to the human world, while others prosper.

[SeeProfileForDetails]

what a bunch of fucking idiots negging down my comments

[SoldatSolutrea]

Whoops, downrated your comment, now say something mad and funny back at me!

[satriageta]

that was like "Hadouken" then the other shrimp got k.o.ed

[HighFlyingDutchman]

[yangej25]

[Arucid]

@satriageta I guess you could say the Pistol Shrimp is Down Right Fierce

[ihavemonkeysinmybutt]

[hightechhippie]

WTF-"momentarily reaches the temperature of the sun" someone hit that guy.

[theShadowviking]

very nearly. From wikipedia: "As it collapses, the cavitation bubble reaches temperatures of over 5,000 K (4,726.85 degrees Celsius).[10] In comparison, the surface temperature of the sun is estimated to be around 5,778 K."

[membland]

sono illuminecance, crazy shit.

[CyclonicTuna023]

right out of a comic book

[oro1111]

BUBBLE BEAM!!!

[rocafella142]

[psplayer444]

I would kind of like to hear what it actually sounds like. In my opinion the sound effects are pretty stupid.

[Sennaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Hadouken!

[StealThisWorld]

lol thats whats it like

[abram730]

the crackle noise is the real noise.

[ruyguy9]

i hate to say it but that sounds are fake

it really just sounds like if the two claws hit each other but it isn't..

[Aferral]

Seriously? I thought for sure that a crustacean that spends its entire life underwater could imitate the sound of a pistol cocking. It couldn't possibly be sound effects added for the benefit of a TV audience.

[xraidedlok]

thats wierd i thought the claw had a hammer and bullets and gun powder and stuff... ya really fooled us!

[ruyguy9]

it was a joke you idiot! why the hell would a shrimp's claws sound like a freaking gun sound i just found it stupid that they put sound FX on a documentary you sarcastic bastard!

[lchngh]

This shrimp take finger snapping to a whole new level. One snap, one kill. I wanna do that too.

[HomoCyborgZombie]

Holy shit o_o

How big would it have to be to kill a human? :D

[limeyBoy15]

FALCON PUNCH!

[blizzard2oo8]

It's something called sonoluminescance. I dont know the case of the shrimp but normally it really reaches 10000C but lasts only a fraction of a second. They tried to use this method to produce energy by nuclear fusion . But they need much more heat for that so they couldnt yet.

[abram730]

It's fusion just a very small amount.. like a few atoms. Also it's H+H fusion and generally just ejects the proton.

For fusion It would be an antimatter ejection. a positron, and a neutrino.. They never looked for that as far as I know.

In other words it gets hot enough to make deuterium, not fuse it and it's not always fusion but a nuclear event.

There are 2 companies attempting to scale this up..

[bigcountryranch]

sonic booom

[Steingress]

Swim by shooting?! :)

[mr2le]

how much do these costs? I want to buy one.

[XFackTahSchoolNurseX]
