Measurable marksmanship
Mantis combines sensor-based analysis, dry-fire systems and immediate coaching to help shooters identify what happened—and what to improve. Amidon helps agencies configure that capability around their weapons, instructors and training objectives.
Expose movement, trigger and timing problems that are difficult to see from the firing line.
Give the shooter immediate, repeatable feedback instead of relying on memory alone.
Create meaningful repetitions between live-fire events without consuming ammunition.
Why Mantis + Amidon
Amidon designs and integrates realistic training environments. Mantis adds a shooter-level feedback layer that can improve the value of the repetitions performed inside them—and extend productive practice beyond the range day.
The result is not another disconnected training gadget. It is a configurable marksmanship capability that can support individual development, instructor-led remediation, sustainment training and dry runs before higher-cost live-fire evolutions.
The Mantis training ecosystem
No single device covers every weapon, training mode or performance question. Amidon scopes the product mix around the actual requirement.
Official Product Overview
A compact motion sensor that analyzes firearm movement before, during and after the shot, then delivers immediate coaching through the MantisX app.
A platform-specific rifle trainer that resets the trigger automatically and adds motion-based analysis for efficient, repeatable dry-fire work.
An inert training pistol with a resetting trigger, visible laser and integrated MantisX analysis for structured handgun practice without live ammunition.
A laser cartridge, physical targets and phone or tablet app work together to record hit location, timing and scores across guided drills.
Product availability, supported platforms, mounts, laser options and final configuration are confirmed for each requirement. Images and product information are supplied by Mantis.
Feedback that drives the next repetition
The MantisX app can replay muzzle movement, score the shot process, identify likely technique errors and track performance over time. Instructors gain a more consistent basis for coaching; shooters leave each repetition with a specific correction to apply.
From individual tool to unit capability
Start with the training audience, weapons, firing modes, instructor ratio and required performance outcomes.
Match sensors, trainers, targets, mounts, cases and supporting devices to the approved platforms.
Organize team or unit kits, documentation and orientation around how the equipment will be issued and used.
Plan for replacement accessories, additional platforms and future expansion as the training program grows.
Where it fits
Mantis does not replace live fire. It strengthens preparation, diagnosis and sustainment so the live-fire event can focus on the tasks that require ammunition and a certified range.
Agency & government requirements
Public consumer pricing does not answer a team or government requirement. Amidon scopes the quantity, platform mix, accessories, documentation, delivery needs and support expectations, then coordinates opportunity-specific pricing and terms with Mantis.
Program questions
No. The X10 Elite supports both dry and live fire; BlackbeardX, TitanX and Laser Academy are dry-fire pathways. The final configuration should clearly separate those uses.
No. Weapon platform, rail or magazine interface, laser or cartridge, mount and app-device compatibility must be confirmed before the system is quoted.
Yes. Government and agency requirements are scoped individually, with opportunity-specific product mix, quantities, delivery and commercial terms coordinated with Mantis.
No. It creates measurable repetitions and immediate feedback before, between and during appropriate range events. Live-fire judgment, tactics and team integration still require the proper facility and controls.
Start with the training objective
Amidon will translate that requirement into a practical Mantis configuration for review—without forcing a consumer product list onto an institutional training problem.
