I like to play woodsball but i only have around $70 so i was wondering what barrel i should get. I need a good barrel that works in moist conditions (not raining but damp since i live in the NW) The length doesn't matter much but let me know with your vote. If you think there is a better barrel let me know. I have a Empire twisted and the rifling messes up the aim when its damp out. BTW, i know there are multiple posts like this but i didn't find one that applies to me. ------------- My Marker - Tippmann 98 Custom with: 14" Empire Twister, Double Trigger, Lightened Trigger Spring, Expansion Chamber, and 20oz tank. Coming Soon: CAR Stock, Rocket Cock 2, R/T Kit, and J&J Ceramic |

I am against the flatline, i hate it. With a passion that
is. But do what you wish, i still say bigshot or Ceramic.
Teardrop and AA are good also.

You can pickup a 12" Ceramic and a 12" Lapco Bigshot for about $90, get to see what works best for you. Both are cheap and both have their slight advantages depending upon who you speak with. http://www.hotshotpaintball.com - www.hotshotpaintball.com has good deals on both with A5 threads. I think my J&J 12" was 37.99 and my lapco 8" was 42.99..the 12" lapco is a bit more. |

From my experience with a 98 Flatline: If it is not windy, and if you are low to the ground to avoid turbulence, have paint that matches, and dont spaz when you shoot, you can have a day full of amazing shots. The fundamental problem with the flatline is that it is very tempermental, and therefore not a good primary barrel, although I think it is an almost necessary component of a woodsball players arsenal. |

Since you're playing in a wet area, I would reccomend the J&J
Ceramic over any of the other choices, since it's slick surface on the
inside can self clean thorugh breaks, which you might have a lot of
because the balls would get bigger in the weather. Also, with the
money you saved, you can buy even more upgrades for your gun.
