What's a good barrel for both close range and medium distances? 
I play at Skyline paintball (crazy cool place)  and  it's a mix of woodsball and speedball.  So I need something short and easy to move around small places (like in the town field)   but something that will also still be fairly quiet and accurate.   Anybody?

All barrels will be the same range, except for the Flatline and the Apex, this being said if you want a little longer range go with one or the other. Other wise I would suggest a decent barrel kit like a freak if money isn't a big problem for you. If it is the I would suggest a lapco bigshot or a J&J ceramics in no more than 16 inches.

I have a 16inch Smart Parts linear barrel and it works great.

Some of the best barrels on the market and my personal choice. You may also want to check out a kit that has more than 1 front.  They can be good if you want a shorter barrel and a longer barrel for different types of play.

Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

No no noooo  I know all about the physics involved in barrels and paintballs and all that stuff.   What I mean is is there a barrel that isn't huge but still has a decent shot?   And when I say "isn't huge"   I mean  12"  or under.   I need something that can move around in a tight space but can still keep a good shot grouping.   

12 "  or under.  lol

J & J Performance:  Single barrel or kits.  The barrels don't move around by themselves.  I'm afraid you'll have to do that yourself.

i like 10 and 12 inch barrels.

old smart parts AA, Freak, Progressive, tear drop, ect. (i think their new stuff is ugly as sin)

JJ makes good barrels and so does lapco.
