Ok, we only have 1 clear photo and 1 grainy photo to work with, but I really think the Modulus is direct plunger, or at least not flywheel. More after the big drop.
Now, I'm not 100% sure that this will be direct-plunger, but I'm at least 90% sure.
I didn't have my blog up at the time, but back when the Rapidstrike leaked, I broke down the possibilities for it and figured out that it would be 4 C-cells under the barrel, and flywheel.
However, my questioning mind also came up with the entirely undesirable possibility that it is flywheel.
Since I can think of points for both cases, I'll give them.
Also, since all of the points refer to the pix, I'll give them too.
<Point 1>
Notice how there are no bulges on the no-screws side, at least not immediately in front of the mag-well, and certainly not symmetrical across the line created by the barrel?
That type of bulge is there to hold motors for a flywheel blaster; there are no such bulges on this. Direct Plunger
</Point 1>
<Point 2>
On the blurry pic blown up by DI2, there is no orange under the trigger-guard. All of the mag-fed blasters that have had that have been flywheels. There appears to be no flywheel-control button; ergo, there shouldn't be flywheels.
</Point 2>
<Counterpoint 1>
On the original leak PowerPoint, there is an blurry speck on the main pistol grip that looks like it could possibly be an orange acceleration trigger.
<Counterpoint 2>
<Rebuttal>
A button under the primary trigger might not be an acceleration trigger, but rather a grip safety. If that's the case, it could still be direct-plunger.
</Rebuttal>
<Counterpoint 3>
On all pictures, there is no stock-nub, just a butt-plate. Ergo, there is no space for the plunger to pop out the back, so this has got to be flywheel.
</Counterpoint 3
<Rebuttal>
Remember the Spectre? It's plunger-snout was covered by it's really small stock, so this could simply be using a super-small plunger.

What do you think?
