The pistol shrimp - Vanilla - 10-08-2010

I was just browsing some random videos, and came across this.

It's about real shrimps that fires bobbles with immense heat and speed.

Haha, they use it to hunt small shrimps, and the bubbles are so small a human would not get actually hurt from it. The big problem is the sound it produces, which is 2x as loud as a concert produces.
