I personally like a pair of Beretta's taking Flatline up to a 7/8
(A1). Or there's the pair of Predators that make him a 9/6 (A1) and
let you put your ammo on each for free. For ammo I prefer a Armor
Piercing in one and Flechette in the other. Double damage no matter
what you're shooting at. :o)
Smartlinks aren't bad if you can put them on either, as each will give
you another 2 (his skill) to your damage.

Combo. Sure you're Flatline's have potential to be bad asses, but
they're still only a max of four runners in your deck. There's plenty
of cards like Booby Trap, Incubus, and a well timed Drive By or Riots
that could ruin your day.
For other runnersI'd recommend four Thrashes for the extra money (he
can at least survive a Riots). A few cards of Kromagnus isn't bad for
further backup, he's a 6/7 with athletics and melee, plus you can turn
him for more nu yen if he's not doing anything else. Fill in the rest
with Runners that compliment and fill in skills you won't have with
Flatline, maybe Tink for some tech on those Maglocks, a decker for
some Recon. One or two mages in case your Opponent has a Harley's Game
that a quartet Flatlines may not take. :o)
