By the book, the player would be right -- the explosives won't do more
than Deadly damage (unless you're using the overdamage rules from page 126
of the SR3 rulebook), and the shapeshifter can regenerate that.

However, in our group we are using a rule from the SRII Companion which
lets explosives roll dice to stage up their own effect, and also have a
much deadlier set of overdamage rules. These two combined would make it
pretty difficult for a shapeshifter to regenerate without the need to
resort to flat GM rulings of the "You're dead" kind.
