The 98c Flatline barrel is a medium bore.....so, I would recommend RPS/PMI Preimums because they are small bore paint to avoid those unwanted and very annoying breaks and also theyre considered the best paint to be used on the Flatline on both Tippmann models.

CORE is good paint(dont know if it is for the flatline but it works for me) and Zap Deviant is good on me too. i get these both cheap at a local mills fleet farm. very good paint. i know tork is good paint too. i have had nothing but good experience with these paintballs. i also used some scortch once because i got them dirt cheap. pretty good paintablls also. all of these balls i listed are good for me anyway. i dont know how they will work with the flatline, but they're cheap and good. good luck.

RPS/PMI Preimums is the best for the flatline. It is plainly the best paint for the flatline. Plus it is good paint in general.

zap rec also has the bucket case.

if u get too many buckets though, it gets a pain, u got like a crapload of buckets and don't know what to do with them. I buy zap for test shooting, and if i go play some woods, which is maybe like once a week, then i got practice 2 times a week, and then a tourney every month almost....yea, it gets expensive.
