Nice in theory, but I never saw it used in competition.



As far as my suggestion, I would use the styrafoam based "beans" in a bean bag chair.
You just need to find the right amount that will actually stop the Egg before it hits the bottom of the container you put it in.

Think of CSI's rendition of a ballistics test: Not the gel based one most are familar with, but a chamber with beads that stops the velocity in a short distance but doesn't damage the actual bullet.

Quote:
The chamber is filled with non-flammable Kevlar® fibers. The useful life of the fibers is approximately 10,000 shots. The bullet is trapped undamaged in these fibers.
