My Friend is making me a free rail, and i want help with the design. I am thinking a shotgun, if not a flatbar flat-down. What thickness should i use for the metal so that it is light but durable.

You're not going to get any serious answers until you spell building right.

do you have speed for a shotgun? I would say flat rail you can learn the most on. shotguns are only god for spinning out. You can't 270 on to a shotgun to easily or do switch-ups to easily.

well if you have someone that knows how to weld BUILD A METAL RAIL! WOO. dub barrel would be good. i think they are inch and 3/4 width or something. Then weld legs on. and boom. 20 feet long should be good. go to a metal reseller and cop some steel. i did mine with c-channel and its nice but not the right metal! boob. do it

a flat bar can be a shotgun,

shotgun=two roundbars together, like a double barrel shotgun if im not mistaken
