I wonder if it would be strong enough to have any effect on a person. Prolly not, particularly if they are not in the water...

Pistol shrimp can break peoples thumbs if their thumbs are close enough. They can also smash glass so definitely not "coming to an aquarium near you". They are awsome though and you could keep them in extremely thick or bulletproof glass. Not very practical though.
