As you can see in [this answer](https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/69322/barrel-discard) on BGG, the barrel stays until it is removed by another card.

Also, from the [official rules](http://www.dvgiochi.net/bang/bang_rules.pdf):

> Blue-bordered cards are played face up in front of you (exception: Jail). Blue cards in front of you are hence defined to be “in play”. **The effect of these cards lasts until they are discarded or removed somehow (e.g. through the play of a Cat Balou), or a special event occurs (e.g. in the case of Dynamite).** There is no limit on the cards you can have in front of you provided that they do not share the same name.
