I'm glad you could trap it!
Since we are talking about pistols...I do not know if that sun/heat producing is true for all pistols or just one kind. I was reading in the latest issue of Coral magazine that they haven't tested the capabilities of all pistols. BUT....on the topic of mantis, I also read that even though they look more physically capable of whooping a pistol, pistols can take them out.

I saw it on youtube. There was a little presentation given by a lady that was studying the pistol shrimp. A TV crew was documenting her doing research and she convinced them to help her by using a 20,000fps camera to capture the matis's "punch".
