The Mantis BlackbeardX (which has repeatedly proven itself over the last couple of years) was one of the more interesting options to see at TRIGGRcon 2023. While not a new unveiling per se, this product offers a unique firearm training approach worth revisiting.
The BlackbeardX is an auto-resetting trigger system that integrates analytics and intelligent feedback. Specifically designed for AR-15 platforms, it’s an evolution of the original Blackbeard, enhanced with MantisX technology.
Integration with MantisX: The BlackbeardX incorporates MantisX technology, which has been instrumental in transforming how shooters refine their technique. This technology offers real-time feedback on shooting technique, smart coaching, and actionable analytics via the MantisX Pistol/Rifle app.
Dynamic Shooting Analysis: Beyond static shooting analysis, the BlackbeardX offers a unique capability to analyze and improve dynamic shooting. This involves high-speed movement with multi-target engagements, providing previously unavailable insights.
Efficiency Metrics: The system evaluates a shooter’s performance based on on-target delay, over-travel, and transition path. These metrics offer a comprehensive understanding of a shooter’s efficiency and areas of improvement.
User-Friendly Interface: Connecting to the existing MantisX Pistol/Rifle app via Bluetooth, the BlackbeardX provides access to familiar drills and courses. New drills are also unlocked when connected to the BlackbeardX, ensuring a diverse training experience.
Installation: The ease of installation is notable. Users can set up the BlackbeardX in less than a minute, making it a convenient tool for regular training.
