Mantis BlackbeardX turns your AR-15 into a dry-fire trainer: the drop-in bolt carrier resets the trigger up to 10 times a second and fires a laser, while the magazine-shaped powerbank carries MantisX sensors that score every shot in the MantisX app. Green or red laser. No licence required.
$699.00
The Mantis BlackbeardX combines the Blackbeard auto-resetting bolt carrier with MantisX motion-sensor analytics. Pull the rear pin, swap your bolt carrier group for the Blackbeard unit, seat the BlackbeardX magazine powerbank and you have an AR-15 that resets its own trigger up to ten times a second with a laser pulse on every break – no ammunition, no cycling by hand. The powerbank’s sensors feed the free MantisX Pistol/Rifle app over Bluetooth with on-target delay, over-travel and transition-path analysis for static and dynamic drills. It fits direct-impingement and piston AR-15s in .223/5.56, 300 BLK and 6.8 SPC; separate Mantis kits exist for the MCX, AR-10 and SCAR. Mantis lists exclusions for some aftermarket triggers (forced-reset, Timney DH3, Fostech Echo 2 and others), so check your trigger before buying. Laser Academy app access is not included. Available with a green (Mantis MT-6003) or red laser; both are 60 ms Class 3R.
Do I need to modify my rifle?
No. The BCG swaps in and out like a normal bolt carrier group and the powerbank sits in the magwell.
Does it work with my trigger?
Most mil-spec and match triggers yes; Mantis excludes forced-reset triggers, super safeties, Timney DH3, Fostech Echo 2 and PSA single-stage drop-ins, and does not guarantee TriggerTech or 80% lowers.
Is a licence needed?
No. The BlackbeardX is a training accessory, not a firearm or ammunition, and ships Australia-wide. You must of course hold the appropriate licence for the AR-15 it fits.
Shooting accessory – not a firearm or ammunition; no licence is required to purchase and it ships Australia-wide. Specifications from the manufacturer. 3 Gun Tactical, Licensed Firearms Dealer 50001578, Tingalpa QLD.
