Holy crap!
That is freaking awesome!
But they used the sound of the AK-47 in Counter-strike: Source for one of the sounds of the "pistol" claws.

"as the bubbles collapse they momentarily reach the temperature of the sun"......bollocks....the snapping force of the pincer creates a concentrated jet of water that disorientates the prey, nothing more. the gun sound effects are lame.
a good video, but would be better without the embellishments.

The sound effects are fake, but the rest is real. It is not a concentrated jet of water at all, but the actual shock wave from the collapsing bubbles. Research this in Wikipedia or anywhere. You can Google "Pistol Shrimp" and find out all you want to know (and more, LOL)

Just wait a few years and we finally did pollute oceans enough to kill such nice creatures.

#12 Not necessarily bollocks.. The collapse of such generated bubbles is indeed purported to create high temperatures - its called sonoluminescence:

(I agree with you about the other embellishments though).
