I remember a Mythbusters where they filled a car with A/B Foam, it was glorious.

Yes, and then I had to try really hard not to replicate that.

I kept thinking of ways to use a pair of those hydraulic piston water squirters and AB foams, there were just so many improvements I could make!

Good to see other people on here doing some math.

Having done some of my own its appears that a regular paintball (capsule round from arsenal) should expand out to be ball roughly 60cm in diameter

That should be enough to subdue most targets, especially with a short bust (or perhaps called shots to head or hands???)

On a different note, i had the idea of combining it with explosive foam.... and given that it is related to plastic explosives the hardend form may just go back to be prone to kinetic detonation (help, help some one break this crap of me...BOOM!!! :) )

That is pretty dang evil, it would look cool as balls but evil never the less. Maybe you would have to mix it with a adhesive to make sure that the foam sticks to the target during the expansion.

Well, I know what character concept I'm doing next. Demo specialist Troll with an explosive-firing minigun.

Had a Trickster Shaman use this along with mini-grenades of various payloads (Slab w/ DMSO, KE IV, etc.) in a smart firing slingshot. They never saw it coming.

Headshots bone mage's LOS. Useful to force spirits to take 2 complex actions to de-/re-materialize to keep fighting you. Even if it doesn't take out an aircraft's engines, it can definitely lock up their maneuvering surfaces and mess with aerodynamics. Passable as fire retardant, unless your GM says its flammable and then, well . . . it's flammable!

For extra fun, if you've got 5 karma just kicking around, mix with Shape [Barrier Foam] for extra hijinx!
