wetpack typically from everything i read about it gives results quite similar to gel, at least in regards to expansion.
when you soak newspaper long enough it bacisally turns into mushy pulp. and thats part of the process - you load it up in a box lined with a plastic bag and let it soak for about a day, adding water until it basically wont take anymore without it being a box of water. its not something you just hit with the hose and a few mins later go shooting into.
is it a perfect substitute for meat? no. but for those of us who want to do some at least semi-realistic testing in a media thats available and common it can give some good basic results, is easily repeatable with different bullets, and is readily made and affordable.
