The grenade will consist of a small tank connected to a ball valve. When this ball valve is opened pressure will move from the tank into a burst disk which will hold for several seconds before "bursting" and letting the pressure flow through, into a balloon full of foam bits which will explode (being WAY over-pressured) sending the foam everywhere. Here is a diagram to further explain what I am saying:
From the diagram you can see that the burst disk will be created using a coupler as a seal. The acual disk will be made cut-up plastic bag (when I make it you will understand more).
My question is, do you think that exploding a baloon filled with air-pressure will send the foam flying? Im not to sure but it seems possible to me. Please help.
Questions and comments are welcome.

The problem that I see possibly arising, is that when a balloon breaks it burst at the weakest point (note the usage of the singular form)
The hole may spread, but the majority of the force will be exerted in the direction the hole is pointing to.
Also the thing will fly ackwardly due to the one end of it being considerably heavier than the other.
Another problem would be the re-use prep-ing. How are you going to make it easy to put on a new balloon and have that balloon not fly off?

And you can't throw a big PVC U of pipe.
The burst disc is pretty pointless as well.

The steilhandgranate, or potato masher, is what elf_avec_gun is mentioning.
The german grenades are called potato mashers

Gryvalcon: Your video confirmed the thought I had after logging off: the grenade design would have to be pumped or filled for more that half a minute in order to blow, and even then the design is not very effective. It would only amount to a sonic grenade with some foamy snow unless the design is improved. Plus, the ball valve on sponge's design would be too inconvenient for any type of grenade, as it would take too much time and effort to open and would likely result in the user "fragging" himself.
