No, it is not a regular shrimp as it has the very protruding bubble eyes that a mantis shrimp have.
The eyes are like balls on a stick and sticking out quite a bit. The pistol has regular shrimp eyes.
At first I thought it was a large amphipods but then I saw that it had a much longer and larger body and those strange eyes...then I realized it was a mantis.
this is what it look like:
