Mantis Blackbeard X (AR-15)

The training will pay for itself.

The Mantis BlackbeardX for AR-15 platforms takes the capability of the Blackbeard into an entirely new dimension. The BlackbeardX contains the MantisX technology that has changed the way shooters improve.  Providing real-time feedback on shooting technique, with smart coaching and actionable analytics via the MantisX Pistol/Rifle app, you’ll never improve faster than with this powerful combination.

But there’s a whole lot more. In addition to static shooting analysis, the BlackbeardX unlocks unprecedented capability to analyze and improve dynamic shooting: high-speed movement with multi-target engagements. It sounds powerful because it is. Nothing has ever analyzed your capabilities like this before.

The Mantis BlackbeardX combines the two most powerful training platforms available – the MantisX and the Mantis Blackbeard. Additionally, it unleashes a completely new capability that the world has never seen before: in-depth dynamic shooting analysis. BlackbeardX goes far beyond a shot timer – it includes motion-based analysis of your efficiency in a high-speed, multi-target engagement. It analyzes your economy of motion across multiple dimensions, giving you real-time feedback on where and how you can improve your dynamic shooting.

Installation takes less than a minute. Pop the rear pin, remove the bolt carrier group, drop in BlackbeardX, put the magazine in place to provide the power, and you’re off to the races. It’s a 20 second change-out. Dry fire away, counting how much money you’re saving with every sweet trigger break and reset that you hear.

How does Blackbeardx Improve Training?

Each of the dynamic shooting drills gives you a score (0-100) based on a combination of three factors:

Analyzes On-Target Delay Score

Most shooters delay on target for longer than they need to. This metric tells you exactly how long you delay – and how much faster you could go with the same level of accuracy.

Assess Over Travel Score for Multiple Targets

Multi-target transitions are often accompanied by moving the gun past or through a target before coming back to take the shot. BlackbeardX quantifies the egregiousness of the over-travel movement.

Compare Sessions to Find Specific Areas of Improvement

Compare your session to previous session or those of other shooters. Every dimension is comparatively scored, with overlaid visualizations to easier distill strengths/weaknesses and consistencies/inconsistencies.

Analyze Phase Times in Detailed Shot-by-Shot Breakdowns

A detailed shot-by-shot breakdown of how long you stayed on target post-shot (goal: minimize this and start transitioning sooner), how much time was spent transitioning, and how much time you stayed on target pre-shot.
