  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.

Try helping.

Bigshot is best bang from what i have been hearing for a long time.  I like the ceramic though.

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.

      He knows what he's talking about.  Bigshot is the best thing I've ever gotten for my gun.  And countypaintball has a good price on it.
