I am using 200 autocannons on a rifter and was not sure what the difference was between the two ammo types?

Hail is a short range, damage dealing ammo. I don't remember what it's penalties are. Barrage has a greatly increased falloff, allowing your autocannons to hit out to a much higher range.
They only fit in Tech II guns though, just in case you weren't aware (not everyone is).

I think Barrage also has a tracking bonus and I know that Hail will kill your max velocity. I don't use Hail at all and I most definately wouldn't use it on a frig.

not afaik, i go just as fast with hail in my rifter.
hail rules on a frig, unless you need to take advantage of falloff, ie vs a blaster frig!

You're missing out then. If you know when to use it, it's great ammo. When ratting 0.0 in my AF I use Barrage to take out the cruisers and BCs on approach then switch to Hail and a tight orbit (or no orbit at all often - just constant approach) to level the Battleships much faster and cheaper since Hail costs about 1/3 or less the price of Barrage. And as mentioned in the scrapheap thread, it's great against webbed or lumbering opponents that armor tank. Consider reevaluating your position on Hail.

Oi, please forgive me. I was thinking of Quake arty ammo for some reason. Yeah, Hail is great if you can take the range penalty, which makes it fine for ratting/missions. I'd be very careful about its use in PvP though on frigs.

well for a start, there's one main difference.
Barrage doesn't suck.
