Looking for a way to up the realism of your dryfire training? Mantis Tech has a solution. A common problem when dryfire training is having to reset your hammer for every shot. While one can generally get around this with a handgun by using a double-action model, its a far harder proposition with a long gun. This is where the Mantis Blackbeard comes in.
The device drops into a standard AR-15 platform in place of the bolt, and once in place, works in conjunction with a specialized Blackbeard magazine. Using self-described "electromagnetic wizardry," the Blackbeard is then able to reset the hammer between each shot, allowing the user to fire up to 10 times a second. Nothing is modified in the trigger group, and it behaves exactly the same with an identical weight, break, and reset. A laser also emits from the barrel, making the Blackbeard compatible with many dryfire targeting systems.
While obviously a product geared more toward the tactical community, hunters who favor the AR-15 platform could also benefit from the sort of practice the device enables. Hog hunters especially, already accustomed to a more rapid pace of target acquisition and firing, will find the Blackbeard provides an excellent opportunity for realistic training.
