Shrimp are surprisingly brutal punchers. Whether mantis shrimp through power smashing or impaling attack, or pistol shrimp whose snapping produces bubbles through cavitation strong enough kill small fish and stun larger ones.
y'know, as an asian, we just harvest these things by metric tons, plain steam it, peel its back shell off and optionally dip it in some vinegar and garlic. it is very tasty. it was not until i saw some nature documentary that i learned about their punches. nothing beats us asians i guess, unless im in a ring and my opponent is wearing a mantis shrimp in her chef hat

It's far from the only brutal predator of the animal kingdom that humans casually eat
