I was just thinking about this the other day, and the impression I got at the time was not that Ben is secretly a serious ass kickin' SOB, but that he had already
done all this before which I think will prove to have something to do with the nature of the "game" he is playing with Widmore. I think both of them have seen the shape of things to come and have perhaps relived the same series of events more than once.
The impression I think we were supposed to get was how agile little Bennie is, but it's possible he has also lived that moment several times already and knew where they would be standing, and how to incapacitate them.
My proof? None, but I do think that when he entered the Orchid, blew up the teleporter? and went into the hidden tunnel behind it, he knew it was there all along. How? Because he had already been there before!
