Reaching the temperature of the sun momentarily isn't very amazing. Those kind of reactions take place pretty easily. You can make Plasma (not the kind in your blood) in your microwave with a grape. That temperature is only reached for an insignificant amount of time, just like how a sneeze can travel at 100 MPH. PS do cut through glass fish tanks when they mature. You need to buy a special kind of plastic tank to prevent it from breaking. FACT, myth busted.

I seen the same animal planet show. It was the top ten fastest creatures. The pistol shrimp was number 1 I believe, that's all I can remember.

I'm sure you have heard the phrase "More bark than Bite" Well I'm sitting here listening to my Pistol Shrimp clicking away. He does it when something gets to close to him. I have a Fire Shrimp and he has not bothered it at all. The Pistol (I call him Ruger) has his caves and as long as nothing gets near the caves, you won't hear him.

Wow! I cant believe the Pistol is getting such a bad name from these videos, please see my above post! I have plenty of other Shrimp and my Pistol has never ever killed one! I have had him for 3 years. Also I still have my fingers, yes hurts like hades but I am still alive after being "shot" more times than I can count.
If you decide not to get one based on this information and video your truely missing out on a fascinating creature.

I think they could have gone without the sound effects.... the natural sounds would have been better than the cocking and firing of an actual pistol. Kind of makes you want to discredit the entire video. Not to mention... he doesnt say surface of the sun he says the temperature of the sun. Hearing that, I assume he means the average temperature which, I am sorry, is not possible. The amount of energy required to make that much heat... I dont see it happening. If I am just being ignorant and somebody has a better source for me I would appreciate it.
