Abstract
A fire retardant/extinguishant guidance gun that propels ammunition that contains a water-based foam which explodes upon impact onto an intended target. This fire fighting system provides an added measure of safety when fighting a fire, by allowing fire fighters a greater distance from the fire, yet providing an accurate means of directing effective fire fighting materials to retard the advancement of a fire. Furthermore, the ammunition of this system obviates any direct contact with the chemicals used to generate the water-based foam. Lastly, the ammunition is environmentally friendly, by decomposing relatively quickly.
