IIRC the Mythbusters have an episode where they made a Pykrete boat and sailed it around for a while. Sure, it in Arctic waters and they used an in-house variation of said Pykrete, but still.

Let me take this in a slightly different direction and suggest the durian. Here are some totally out-of-context quotes from the Wikipedia article.

Spoiler: Each one of these is about the size of your head (click to show/hide)

"Its taste can only be described as...indescribable, something you will either love or despise. ...Your breath will smell as if you'd been French-kissing your dead grandmother."

"... its odor is best described as pig-shit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away. Despite its great local popularity, the raw fruit is forbidden from some establishments such as hotels, subways and airports, including public transportation in Southeast Asia."

"[D]eath rarely ensues from it, because the copious effusion of blood prevents the inflammation which might otherwise take place."

Hehe, that last one was in reference to injuries due to falling durians, not the smell. Still, a weaponizable fruit? Pretty dwarfy.
