Does it have a distinct "head" and "body"? A pistol shrimp will have a distinct "swimmer body" portion, just like a mantis, camel, peppermint, lobster, etc. etc.

Of course, a pistol would also have one distinctive claw that would be significantly larger than the other.

Hard to tell from the photos, but your critter seems to be sort of "one piece", and have black eyes...more like a big copepod than a shrimp.
