Pistol packing … Shrimp? (Creation.com)
Despite being a diminutive 1–2 inches (3–5 cm) long, the pistol shrimp normally has one regular claw but also has an oversized claw which operates as an acoustic weapon capable of producing ‘gunshots’ reaching over 200 decibels (much louder than a jet engine!).
Unwary victims approaching within an inch or so (~4 cm) of this oceanic ‘bush-whacker’ may find themselves staring down the barrel of a gun that is literally cocked and triggered in a fashion reminiscent of a Wild West six-shooter.
The sound the shrimp makes is not produced by its claws snapping together but by a bubble formed by a fast water jet (travelling at speeds of up to 60 miles/100 kilometres an hour) squeezed out from a socket in the claw when it snaps shut (this generates a low-pressure bubble).
The violent implosion of this cavitation bubble produces the sound blast, the pressure of which is strong enough to kill small fish. (This is similar to the pistol shrimp’s larger cousin, the 4–6 inch-long (6–10 cm) mantis shrimp’s use of cavitation to boost its ‘super powered’ punches). Researchers using high-speed cameras and sound equipment say this whole process occurs within 300 microseconds from when the shrimp ‘pulls the trigger’. The implosion also briefly generates a temperature as high as the sun’s surface.
Many people, astounded at the obvious design in such a creature, might ask, “How could features such as the building of a sonic gun (along with the biochemical and neural pathways that would need to be integrated into the creature’s central nervous system) just happen by mutations and natural selection?”
The pistol shrimp’s claw is an extremely specialized construct that needs precision design in order to function.

The Mantis shrimp
If you enjoy keeping tropical fish, the Mantis shrimp is one creature you may not want to keep in your aquarium. While this creature is related to common shrimp, it has a very unusual and specialized feature.
In the wild, if the Mantis shrimp finds a tasty snail, it cocks its spring-loaded forearm and shatters the snail's shell. The forearm has moved through the water at 50 miles per hour – so fast that it causes cavitation as well as heat and a flash of light as the bubbles collapse. And, yes, the Mantis shrimp can break the glass walls of an aquarium! To do this, the shrimp must generate over two-hundred thousand watts of power per pound of muscle, something no other muscle can do. The shrimp accomplishes this seemingly impossible task by storing the energy generated by the muscles. The shrimp first locks the arm and then contracts its muscles. The energy stored in this way would damage the arm if it weren't for a very clever spring design. This saddle-shaped spring can accumulate enormous quantities of energy without breaking as it compresses. When the shrimp is ready to strike, it simply releases the spring.
The Mantis shrimp's forearm is only an effective working unit when all of its specialized parts are working together. It is difficult to imagine how it could have evolved.
Evolution via the magic mix of millions of years did not create the precision design that the pistol shrimp and mantis shrimp exhibit.
Evolutionists want you to believe via your imagination that millions of years of trial and error created these creatures.
They have NO real answer as to how the precision design of these shrimp occurred EXCEPT their empty black hole explanation of millions of years design.
Don't let evolutionists "stun" you into believing their "intellectual" nonsense theories that explain creation via the mindless millions of years timeline.
God Created the shrimp and designed them to confound those who deny him and amaze those who trust in him. He also designed them to declare his glory.
If you do question evolution theory and ask what happened during those millions of mystery years, their religion of evolution is exposed as a fraud because it is an EMPTY THEORY!
The evidence of creation designed by God is a problem for evolutionists/atheists because of God's creations of complex designs that can't be explained by evolutionists/atheists except by the millions of years or goo to you magic time mix of evolution.
This is a vexing, perplexing, atheist enigma puzzle that evolutionists battle with when "explaining" goo to you evolution theories.

Psalm 19:1-3 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
(Romans 1:20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
