Mantis Shrimp Destroys Clam

The Mantis Shrimp has a "hammer" that it uses to crack open clams. Watch (and hear!) as the shrimp smashes the clam shell to pieces, and then drags its catch into its cave.

I've read that the impact force is around 1500 newton, which equal to the force applied on a bullet when fired.

Dude as mankind, our wisest decision was to get the fuck out of the water to evolve on land.
