This is prolly a really dumb question and i know your prolly not supposed to play in the rain but would it help if u wrapped your barrel in plastic wrap?
Rain!!!

wrapping it up would not really help all that much because the humidity would be high enough that the inside of the barrel would still get wet...actually the plastic wrap might help trap the water inside of it....hmm
the best way i have found for playing in the rain generally involves keeping my gear in the car till right before game time....squeegee out the barrel at the ten seconds before game time and after the whistle blows firing will keep the rain out....you might have to squeegee a few times during to get out the condensation...i usually have to.

I saw some dude's playing in wales once (think they're called K2 or summit) using a barrel tube with holes cut into the end caps (cut down the length of the tube to fit the ported barrel). Thats the clear plastic tubes that barrels are sometimes delivered in or any other clear tube at least 1cm wider (diameter) than youre barrel.

John,
It was indeed K2.
The reason we started using the tubes is that it still allows the air to vent through the ports and so doesn't reduce your accuracy.
The other reason is that you don't spend half the night trying to get the insulation tape glue off your shiny Freak barrel set,

Any particular type of barrel tube?? or can any be adapted... do you think it really makes a difference??

Barrel tubes
Yes they make every bit of difference.
Take a tube - cut it to length (covering the porting)
Take one end cap and cut a cross into the end
Fit this to the tube.
Push the barrel throught the cross cutting and draw the tube all the way over the barrel
Voila - no more water in the barrel
