i like it when pew pew goes from arm instead of air

[warped cedar]

freeball it

[dire carbon]

pew pew

[sand bridge]

uh

i have a vrgmv2

its pretty good

[tired lake]

ok so general question . recommendation a stock for a seated player in aus? 🙂

[dire carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/skull-gif-23663947

me when i see the forcetube price

[tired lake]

@dire carbonit contain cocaine? should at those prices lol

[oak geode]

I feel like a stock might be a bit cumbersome while seated. Maybe the virtual stock setting might be a good middle ground. Or check out the istock as it’s a pretty small one controller stock.

[dire carbon]

ikr

i mean look at this shit https://www.protubevr.com/en/product/168-forcetube-haptic-gunstock.html

[unreal jolt]

Ive been really happy with this, both grips can easily detach for looting in tabor, and the long magnetic barrel makes all the guns feel good , even the side grips you can mirror

https://sanlaki.shop/collections/sanlaki-gunstock/products/magnetic-vr-rifle-gunstock

[tired lake]

@oak geodei am finding vstock to be very helpful but i can lower arm rests out of way for general gun sway motions i just find it hard to keep a steady setting with both arms unless i use the rests at full hight and then i keep hitting my elbows when nnot aiming lol

[dire carbon]

what is the best valve index gun stock

[thick hatch]

Hey everyone!
Just wondering what Gunstock or Style of Gunstock people are using and prefer?

There are certainly no lack of options..

• Mount: Top Mag or Bottom Mag (or no Mag)
• Stability Pts: 1pt (Single hand), 2pt (Two Hand), 3pt (Two Hand plus Buttstock), 4pt (Two Hand Plus Buttstock and Cheekstock)
• 3D Printed Entirely or Metal Tubing
• Vertical or Vertical and Horizontal use
• Fixed Pts or Adjustable Pts

Here are some links to makers to check out.

Sanlaki

• One of the Original OG Makers and solid option
• https://sanlaki.shop/

@agile osprey

• Maker of the Spine
• https://www.olenvr.com

ProTube (most universally recognized name)

• https://www.protubevr.com

iStock - A new contender making the rounds

• Buttstock only (free air off-hand)
• https://istockgaming.com/

There are also free options out there if you have a 3D Printer

• https://thingiverse.com

I (MrTass) also make a WIDE range of gunstock options (3D printer hobbyist)

• https://MrTass3DPrintShop.etsy.com/
• QuickAim (1pt with Extension to align 2nd pt free off-hand to)
• MiniMag (2pt Bottom Mag Gunstock)

also can be used for Dual Wield or Driving Wheel Alignment in horizontal

• MagStock+ (The most versatile and customizable system out there (IMHO))

Make a 1pt to 4pt Gunstock and anything in between

• NEW Quick Shot (Mid-Split 1 Mag Model)

Can expand with a Butt Stock or Convert to a QuickAim

There is also always the DIY method with some PVC or a Stick/Rod and some Toilet Paper rolls

• it isn't exactly stylish, but it will get the job done. 😉
• https://www.reddit.com/r/PavlovGame/comments/jhtg6v/10_diy_quest_2_gun_stock_easy_and_customizable/

[tired lake]

i mean i actually saw that and instantly was like "oo shit thats actually pretty cool .. pretty cool " lol

[dire carbon]

i mean the price tag is not pretty

[tired lake]

@thick hatchappreciate the link dump 🙂

[thick hatch]

Good to know what is out there... I try to stay well researched as both a user and maker of such things haha
Prices can very from $ to $$$$... but function is relatively all the same....
Some choose to focus on looks, others on the most functionality.

• Some of the better get a bit of both going. 😉

[dire carbon]

im hard rn

[tired lake]

@thick hatch as someone who is clueless to all this its helpful asf , annd yeah its good to know theres a variety out there 🙂

@dire carbonwe can see your spout o..O

[thick hatch]

Happy to answer any questions and guide where appropriate depending on Price Point and Features you are looking for.
Also largely depends on the types of games you play... full out military shooters (Contractors and Onward) vs quick action like (Pop One and Breachers)

Tabor can be a bit of both with all of the looting needs... but certainly leans more classic Military Shooter.

[thick hatch]

Here are a few versions of a QuickAim

• The goal of the QuickAim style is to be as quick and free as possible, while still providing a way to sync/line up/steady the two hands when aiming.

The Index one is a WIP and just pending verification of angles (I don't own an Index)
I make a Knuckle version that works with the Quest 1, 2, and Pro (and likely 3 if they don't change the base too much)
I am debating and will likely also make one (similar to the index one) for the PSVR 2

They are quick, cheap, easy, and functional to use.
A great intro if you don't want to spend massive amounts of money on a Full (and sometimes unwieldy) system.

[limber oriole]

Got damn $80 for a stock

[thick hatch]

You can also print your own of the Knuckle version for the Quest Line

• I posted 3 bed size/length files. Including the ever common 220x220 (Ender 3's)
  https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5935551

Even if you don't do the Elastic and Back Knuckle Pad... it is still fully functional and useable.

[dire carbon]

you think thats alot look at this shit https://www.protubevr.com/en/product/168-forcetube-haptic-gunstock.html

[thick hatch]

Alternatively you can print your own for FREE or $25 plus shipping for a MrTass Knuckle Pro QuickAim ;P
Certainly not as fancy, but gets the job done.

[unborn pivot]

The Modus R is probably one with the most personnalization and low price for that kind of stock its on ETSY. No magnet so it feels more natural.

[junior lake]

i never knew one of this vr stocks how do they work?

it is for realism right?

[junior lake]

i dont see the price

[thick hatch]

All the way at the bottom...

[junior lake]

oh my bad

alright lets see what it is

[junior lake]

WHAT THE HELL

[thick hatch]

Part of the reason... is the additional technology being used for the "ForceTube" portion (haptics)... the rest is "name" recognition and usage by the "pros" in competitive scenes.

[slate grotto]

I would buy if it had MORE RECOIL.

[thick hatch]

Gunstocks in VR should first and foremost assist with Aim and Stability.
Second is "feel" / realism of gun mechanic use
Third is looks on camera

[junior lake]

im speechless

[thick hatch]

So yea... the range on a Gunstock is FREE (3D Printed or Homecrafted from toilet paper rolls) to $400+ and everything in between.
but most "full" 3pt Gunstocks will run you $80 to $150

[junior lake]

and what is 80 or 150 bucks in euros?

[thick hatch]

72 to 135 Euros

[junior lake]

hmm a bit cheaper sounding but if i will be honest i originally wanted these stocks for into the radius since its already a pretty immersive experience but now that i see the price i will probably not buy it

[thick hatch]

You can make your own also... a very common practice is .. with a stick/rod and a couple toilet paper rolls haha or with PVC
https://www.reddit.com/r/PavlovGame/comments/jhtg6v/10_diy_quest_2_gun_stock_easy_and_customizable/

While not exactly stylish it can get the job done haha

[junior lake]

ill probably try to get the provolver with feedback since i can get a cheap attatchment that is meant to make it also kind of a gun stock

alr we got a good one hopefully this aint a scam

[lethal sinew]

I think someone shared this previously. Lovely mod:
https://youtu.be/4dlH-F7cRv4

Practically free.

I bought this last week, coming in the mail next week. I'll let you guys know how it runs:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/911983863

I previously used the Sanlaki but it's not aligned with guns in GoT so I bought this to work similar to a protube

[sand bridge]

just tie the wrist straps together

[thick hatch]

I would think grenade throwing becomes an issue with that setup haha

[lethal sinew]

Fixed length vs more modular/and adjustable

[sand bridge]

thats basically what the istock is

[sand bridge]

just use both hands

i have an irrational hatred of the istock

[lethal sinew]

oh, like a Kamehameha.

https://tenor.com/view/kid-goku-kamehameha-dragon-ball-anime-gif-19411049

impact nades be hitting different

[oak geode]

I feel this. I saw it and hated it. But logically I know I shouldn’t.

[forest girder]

Thinking of buying a stock. Budget is around $50 or a bit upwards. Any recommendations? I use quest 2 controllers.

Material doesn’t matter btw. Half stock could work, preferably not

[maiden bobcat]

mamut(200$)>protube(148$)>Istock(50$) prices in usd

[forest girder]

Istock looks good, do halfstocks still help with aim? How good are they compared to normal ones

[lethal sinew]

Missed USB chord! = $4~free

[maiden bobcat]

I cant say, I see a lot of people love them for breachers/tabor

my list is quality/manufacturing based

[forest girder]

Huh

[lethal sinew]

https://youtu.be/4dlH-F7cRv4 @forest girder

[forest girder]

Ty I’ll check it out

[thick hatch]

I make a 2pt MiniMag... Base set with the previous adapters (use velcro and halo rings) is $35 plus shipping

I make a Knuckle Grip version that is compatible with the Quest 1, 2, & Pro for $45

Etsy (MrTass3DPrintShop)

there are some other options you can find on Etsy also.

Personally I find my QuickAim perfect for Breachers.

[forest girder]

What would you recommend for GoT

Of what you make

[maiden bobcat]

keep in mind mamut is making a splitstock for tabor. but it will likely be awhile before that releases

[thick hatch]

Of what I make... Probably the MiniMag.
I like to keep bar along my off-hand/forearm on my reload hand.

Then I reattach near the body. I find it helps keep tabs on where the bar is and makes it easier/quicker between.

[forest girder]

@thick hatch what’s this? https://www.etsy.com/se-en/listing/1188174217/mrtass-magstock-fully-customizable-and?click_key=330195ce0e8775f16f0975c08eb1218f22bbe7fd%3A1188174217&click_sum=8d0ba4a9&ref=shop_home_recs_4&sts=1

Also why does it cost $1.3 dollars

Or well 13 SEK

[thick hatch]

That is my fully Customizable System.
You can buy it as a bundle or you can buy individual pieces and parts to build your own... so the lowest price items is a bolt for $1

Generally I would advise the Full Bundle which is $75 plus shipping

[forest girder]

What’s in the full bundle

[thick hatch]

Essentially everything you need to have a 3pt Gunstock.
2 Mag Adapters
2 Large Rails
3 Small Rails
1 Small QuickAim
and a Butt Stock

[forest girder]

I find this amusing

[thick hatch]

You can also use it to make a MiniMag (2pt) or even QuickAim (1pt)

The mags are strong enough t.

[forest girder]

Quick aim does not go against your shoulder right?

[thick hatch]

What is that from?

[forest girder]

Istock

[thick hatch]

Correct neither does MiniMag... you could also make a 3pt QuickAim option if you wanted a butt stock, but free off-hand

[forest girder]

WTH is a 4pt with “cheekstock”

Sounds so odd

[thick hatch]

Basically it means you have a 4 points of contact for stability

2 Hands, 1 Shoulder, and 1 Cheek

[forest girder]

Alright

[surreal quarry]

I’m currently looking at the magnistock plus

What are your guys opinions

I don’t want to spend more than 100 and want to be able to use sidearms easy so it would need to be something with the magnets

[forest girder]

the Istock looks mad simple can’t u just 3d print it

or is that like illegal

[thick hatch]

@surreal quarry there are a lot of options out there.

Check out the @agile osprey Spine also

• https://www.olenvr.com/

that is a favorite of jBahrVR

[royal wagon]

That’s a lot of obstruction on the tracking rings

I don’t recommend any over the top stocks especially for quest

[random dagger]

Nothing stopping me 🙂

[forest girder]

got a model for it?

[random dagger]

Nope haha

Not even a 3d Printer

We

ew*

[forest girder]

Me neither

Can ask around tho

[magic briar]

how good is the sidewinder by kobra?

[forest girder]

Good

[patent cedar]

https://discord.gg/cXWr6fFmdp

These are damn good

Also had 3d print files for people to use and print their own if they want but the real ones they sell are all anodized aluminum or injection mold joints, tubes are carbon fiber of course

[maiden bobcat]

need the mamut tabor split stock

😔

[forest girder]

What’s that

[maiden bobcat]

mamut is making a new split stock in collaboration with tabor, its rapidly changeable to facilitate using different guns midraid

[forest girder]

Are there any early pics

[maiden bobcat]

nope

[surreal quarry]

Any idea how much

[maiden bobcat]

the normal mamut stock is 200$~ usd, so I imagine a new one would be around the same price, maybe 250$

[surreal quarry]

Dam

[forest girder]

Jesus

[sudden sentinel]

Not wo much with the aim itself, but being able to brace the buttstock does seem to help with locking your backsight in place which makes sight picture consistency a lot simpler.

[forest girder]

It doesn’t help with aim? What sight picture consistency btw

@sudden sentinel

[normal fiber]

Are there gun stocks for pico 4?

[royal wagon]

Protube makes cups for everything

[split knoll]

i def have the best gunstock

yall aint ready for this

[forest girder]

ive got my popcorn.

[thick hatch]

If it works... it works

[split knoll]

it just needs a couple of ajustments

[royal wagon]

The problems with designs like that is the lack of adjustability, you need a lot of adjustability in GoT

[fierce folio]

What's a good gunstock to use with the rift s?

[royal wagon]

Magtube by protubeVR

[buoyant fable]

Can anyone play

[royal wagon]

#🤝・pvp-groupfinder

[unborn pivot]

I like mine !

[agile osprey]

we don't have any of those issues 🤙

[forest girder]

are u the real deal

[agile osprey]

you bet yer sweet buns

Here's some of the key points of what we found to be important for a gunstock:

• no tracking issues (of course)
• headset clearance so you can ADS and not hit your headset on your stock
• gunstock calibrator helps tremendously (contractors did it best)
• comfortable/non-bulky sling
• range of attaching your controller to your stock (multiple weapon compatibility on the fly)
• dismounting and remounting your hands to your stock as easy as possible (zero fumbling to find the stock)
• enough weight for immersion, not too much weight for fatigue

This is all personal experience and through feedback from dozens and dozens of users (including myself) and high-level players

If anyone else has something to add to this, please do!

[royal wagon]

Agree on all points

[forest girder]

hows the shipping to other countries? i live in sweden

$45... yikes

[agile osprey]

Usually about 24 to 45 USD. Wait times are super long right now though

[agile osprey]

blame USPS for that one, you don't wanna know UPS prices lol

[forest girder]

id love a spine if it weren't for that shipping

[agile osprey]

This is our rates for shipping to stockholm on our backend system, our website defaults to a base shipping rate for outside the US sometimes

[forest girder]

jesus

where are you based?

[agile osprey]

Dallas Texas

[forest girder]

alright

[agile osprey]

Wait I missed it in that screen cap, here's what they paid:

[pure crown]

How much is shipping in the us?

[agile osprey]

but it's a 15 day wait 🙄

[agile osprey]

Free for UPS ground, then upgraded shipping is extra, $24 and up

[pure crown]

Alr

[sharp harbor]

How much to ship to Dallas Texas

[pure crown]

Anyone have decent kinda cheap Gun stock

[sudden sentinel]

Basically your free hand is still hanging out in the air so you're still free aiming with no third point of contact which means your front sight remains unsteady.

But the butstock kinda 'fixes' the rear sight in place which means you can focus on just aligning the front sight rather than both the front and rear at the same time.

So aim itself isn't really improved but since it improves the ease and ability to maintain a consistently aligned sight picture.

@forest girder

[elfin flicker]

What is "kinda cheap"?

[pure crown]

maybe like $60-$70

[forest girder]

Ty

[sudden sentinel]

No worries 🙂

[agile osprey]

Free 99

[sharp harbor]

Oo bet

[spare perch]

where the 3in1 foldable one ?

[hallow veldt]

Looking for a gunstock, im wanting to know whether the wolverine is any good?

[plucky creek]

@agile osprey I got your lopro and the quality is great but I swear I saw somewhere you were going to sell a longer pipe or an extension? The only other thing I'm wanting to do is find a way to extend the shoulder stock out more.

[vestal shard]

Im 3d printing an attachment for the quest 2 controller that lets you attach a nerf stock, my quest arrives next thursday i'll let yall know how it goes

[keen bloom]

Made this for maybe like 5$? Channels trippin

[dry crystal]

id say a majority of people dont have a 3d printer, though it looks really nice

[vestal shard]

Stl file? 👀

[lusty thicket]

That looks horrible

Also how do you like take it out to reload

[azure scarab]

They slide out I’m guessing

[keen bloom]

my bad bro got it for free really

[lusty thicket]

They look pretty stuck

[keen bloom]

theyre cupped

couldnt be bothered to go buy magnets but they def would be better

[azure scarab]

And it don’t matter how it looks lol if it works it works

[lusty thicket]

Yeah fair you don't see it that one looks more of a pain to reload with and shit tho

[keen bloom]

theyre sort of notched on one side so it slips in

unless youre 360 no scope dolphin diving irl its really not bad. can pull my forward hand out fine to loot/reload/whatever

[verbal tangle]

What’s with the multiple stock lengths? Preference?

[frail pagoda]

thats a cool little component for a VRgunstock

[fair river]

Looks good how ever that’d cost me $305 😂

[keen bloom]

oof

[frail pagoda]

im currently printing a full length

vr stock

[fair river]

Been looking at getting a printer though, seems worth it with all the uses

[keen bloom]

if youre us westcoast ill send u one for shipping lol

[frail pagoda]

but its gonna take like a week bc small printer

[keen bloom]

or wherever really

[frail pagoda]

yooo that looks tight

[magic agate]

Nice colloring

[fair river]

I’ll consider the offer, how well does it work? Easy to take the controllers in and out? And do they stay fairly well?

[keen bloom]

yeah if youre into that

[elfin flicker]

Protube stock I picked up. tons of adjustment points so I can tweak it on the fly to fit any gun ingame

controllers can slide, rotate, and tilt back and forth, each segment of the stock can be angled however you want so the guns in game are angled correctly. Controllers quick disconnect with magnetic cups, and the sling lets it hang by your side so it's easy to reconnect on the fly.

thing makes it super easy to laser beam

[crude merlin]

Imma be getting the protube, glad to hear it works well.

The controller things u slide the controllers into looks kinfs uncomfortable tho.

[elfin flicker]

I don't really notice them since my hand rests above them, if that's what you mean.

[crude merlin]

How much would you say the protube has improved your aim within vr?

[elfin flicker]

definitely helps you keep a tighter spread when shooting, especially at close range, and sniping seems to be a lot easier to keep a scope steady.

[royal wagon]

The final Magtube index mount is a fantastic bit of engineering

The prototype ones were a lil funky

[gusty wharf]

Oh hey @plucky creek , I didn’t know you were in here.

[agile osprey]

We actually have a longer extension just about ready. Problem is we don't have time to print the final version and test since we're so behind on orders. But we should have it ready within a couple weeks

[sacred light]

i want to get a spine gun stock from olen for my birthday they look so cool

[agile osprey]

Scott gave us the go ahead to make some custom GOT faction SPINE's so it might be worth to wait 😏 just waiting on the calibrator to get added and confirm the stock will work across all guns 100%

[sacred light]

that sounds awsome what color will it be tan?

[thick hatch]

How do you mean?
Multiple Designs/Models... or the MagStock+ System that can be complete adjusted on angles and distance of the points?

[agile osprey]

possibly, if you see the faction logos we're gonna make the colors correspond to them

[opal cypress]

anyone know a good fully 3d printable stock?

[thick hatch]

@opal cypress Honestly.. you might be surprised with how well this works. 😉

• https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5935551

[opal cypress]

whaaat, hows that work? doesn't go into your shoulder? just forward support?

[thick hatch]

It is a two point Gunstock.
Main Controller in hand/holding adapter.
Off-hand rests/aligns/sets/or fingers grab (whatever is comfortable) the bar to stabilize

I have been using it in Contractors, Breachers, Tabor, Pop One, and more... does the job

[opal cypress]

oh gotcha! cool, i'll try it out tomorrow

thanks!

[thick hatch]

And since you have your own 3D Printer... nothing to really lose in trying one... you don't even have to do the elastic and TPU backpad... it is comfortable to just hold also.

[sacred light]

that will be awsome im for sure getting ghost

[opal cypress]

oh this is a perfect use case for new prusa slicer tree supports

[thick hatch]

Yep... I 45 tree touching build plate with roof top support. a 2mm brim also doesn't hurt

[opal cypress]

still outside of print volume for prusa mini though 😢

[thick hatch]

there are three sizes from 220mm bed to 240mm bed and even larger

What size is your print bed?

[opal cypress]

prusa mini's build volume is 18 cm (7”) cubed

[thick hatch]

180mm

making a fake Prusa Mini Printer and then will size down the extension length to fit

[thick hatch]

Try this file.
43 or 47 degree rotation... (turn of snap rotate) and center
Will fit a 180x180x180 bed.

At this size it is a bit more of a pistol stock... but I think there is enough length to still work for rifles... you will have to let me know.

Must sleep now.

[opal cypress]

wow thanks! ill check it out

[thick hatch]

I have added this file to the Thingiverse listing also

[opal cypress]

unfortunately there's enough room left for the tool paths
i think realistically any stock printable on prusa mini needs to be modular and put together

[thick hatch]

what do you mean?

Tool Paths?

[opal cypress]

like the build volume is practically not 180x180x180, its technically slightly less, because it needs to account for the space the hotend takes up

for developing with prusa mini compatibility in mind, i recommend grabbing prusa slicer and slicing for prusa mini to check

[thick hatch]

I have printed to the edges of my own printers... different models without issue... Did you enable the Brim... you could disable that

You can use the file and cut out whatever chunk of straight length to fit where you need

While some of you guys slap their huge carbon fiber brooms around their headsets and get stuck with some weird stocks that hang around their necks, I just enjoy the smallest necessarily thing that is barely noticeable 😏
This thing is the bees knees, and no, nobody payed me to say so, just my piggy bank said thank you when I stopped to buy weird huge stocks where I hoped that they would increase my game 😂

https://www.vrifle-3d.de/quest-2

[verbal tangle]

Just looking at the options for buying a spine stock it doesn’t tell you why you might want the longest length, or the shortest length. There is no assistance on the website from what I can tell for what length to get. Coming from no experience or prior knowledge it’s like picking a pair of jeans, but having no idea what the measurements mean.

[thick hatch]

@agile osprey should be able to help with those questions on his items

[sharp harbor]

Where can I get a gunstock

[hushed pike]

[sharp harbor]

Ok thank you

[solid field]

It's easy to find... Just look...

What would you guys think of the oculus gun stock?

Like the one made for quest 2

[keen bloom]

Budget king lol 😂

[worthy saddle]

Hey man if it works
It work!

[thick hatch]

There is a pinned post which would help for options

[worthy saddle]

Bro I have a homie literally named after your username
Also yes! Check the pins in here 🙂

How does one check pins

[formal obsidian]

Looking to get a gunstock for my oculus quest 2 any opinions on what would work best?

[river juniper]

I've been using the Sanlaki VR for a month. Better than nothing. Tomorrow the Kobra Sidewinder is showing up....I'll more details about comparison tomorrow evening.

[formal obsidian]

Can you send me a pic

Or link

[river juniper]

Sanlaki is decent with sling. I'm 6 foot, so with a tightened sling It's not dragging all over the floor when I bend over to pick it up. Took about 3 hours of playing to develop the muscle memory to attach the dominant hand controller

This one arrives tomorrow.

[forest girder]

@agile osprey do you know why the ||SHIPIT|| promo code isnt working?

[uncut rapids]

Does the spine not get in the way of ingame interactions?

[forest girder]

did they just call me sick for looking at gunstocks????

also, do i buy wolverine ultralight or sidewinder? ultralight is like $30 cheaper

[river juniper]

I'll be getting my hands on the sidewinder tomorrow to test the swing stock feature. Is the wolverine ultralight fixed with it's stock?

[forest girder]

yes it appears so

[river juniper]

I'd say that and aesthetics are the only two differences between the sidewinder and the wolverine. I'm hoping this will be more fast and efficient than the Sanlaki that I'm currently using.

[forest girder]

i dont care about aesthetics

[river juniper]

Sidewinder I would think for functionality purposes. On another note, if you're just looking for weight in your hands...wearing wrist/hand weights while using the quest controllers also helps create steadiness more so than just the controllers themselves.

adding 2 pound weights to each hand helps create a sense of handling a weapon and allows for a more realistic feel when bringing up the weapon to your line of sight

[crude merlin]

Protube seems to be a pretty unanimous recommendation from what ive seen, if you afford one that is.

[forest girder]

yeah nah thats way to much to spend on a stock

[crude merlin]

Thats what imma be getting.

Ig its a personal preferencw thing. 130 bucks rly isnt that much.

[dusk dagger]

I have the protube and it's nice

Also order a towahawk gunstock, waiting for it to ship.

[crude merlin]

No clue what the tomahawk is

[forest girder]

depends

[bold nest]

it looks so cool. im not sure if it comes with the strap tho

[crude merlin]

Damn i fking love that design ngl

Looks like the left hand is in a horrible position tho.

Looks very uncomfortable

[dusk dagger]

It's a magnet in the front thats clipped onto the ring, you can move it around for a more comfortable fit

[crude merlin]

Oh okay that makes a lot more sense, whats the price point on that?

[dusk dagger]

It's pretty pricey

[forest girder]

Both kidneys and left lung

[lethal sinew]

Wonder why that seller stopped selling them 6 months ago... Looks interesting

https://www.etsy.com/shop/SKolVR

[dusk dagger]

He moved to his own website

[crude merlin]

Can i get a link pls

[lethal sinew]

Ohh cool

[faint wigeon]

I couldn't find a good gunstock that gave me both length, but also doesn't interfere with looting and throwing grenades. So I designed my own retractable magnetic gunstock.

[lethal sinew]

Yo, that's cool af. Patent and sell that thing

[forest girder]

cool

[forest girder]

nah ima do it quicker

https://tenor.com/view/mischievous-emoji-evil-smile-gif-14790095

[faint wigeon]

Haha go for it, patents aren't cheap and you'll need to design it from scratch in CAD for production. Have fun 😉.

Ive been contemplating making these and putting them for sale on my Etsy. Just havent found the time yet.

[crude merlin]

Where tf do i find the tomahawk gundtocm?

[river juniper]

https://sanlaki.shop/products/magnetic-vr-rifle-gunstock

[crude merlin]

Thanks.

[thick hatch]

Very creative and cool take on a gunstock

[faint wigeon]

Thank you!

[thick hatch]

I made a "shotgun" pump action option for MagStock+ system... Using toilet paper roll holder (spring action) haha

[dusk dagger]

Don't think his site is up just yet. But if you google SkolVR you'll see his Youtube. Which has links to his Tiktok and Facebook page. You can message him through there.

[faint wigeon]

Now that's creative! Lol

[thick hatch]

https://youtu.be/yQT6LFVIPm4

I ended up not offering it in my shop... Still had some sticking issues at certain angles and just didn't finish refining it as so few actual uses for actual pump action.

[faint wigeon]

Oh that's cool! If you can take apart the toilet paper holder piece, might I recommend hitting it with some 800 grit and then 1200grit sand paper?

That'll make it glide in/out a lot more smoother and eliminate the friction.

I had to sand and polish mine down quite a bit to get a nice smooth retraction.

[thick hatch]

Actually I left the toilet paper roll holder fully intact and just sleeved it essentially.

[faint wigeon]

Ahhh gotchya

[solid field]

Don't know. The creator claims it doesn't.

[spring tulip]

anyone ever use the istockvr or the kobra side winder

[molten fog]

how did you make that O_O

[faint wigeon]

I designed it in CAD and then 3D printed the parts, added some magnets, springs, screws, and it all came together.

[molten fog]

very noice

[faint wigeon]

Thank you!

[crude merlin]

Alright any protube owners wanna lmk how the gunstock works with Tabor?

[royal wagon]

Fantastic

[spring tulip]

if you ever start selling this Id be interested it looks amazing

[lethal sinew]

Same, I want one.

[faint wigeon]

Definitely! If im able to get around to producing/selling these, i'll let you guys know! & @lethal sinew

[small tide]

if someone sends me gunstock i’ll give a smooch

[forest girder]

Id love one if there was a stock to push against your shoulder

[plain canopy]

any recommends for an index stock? Found a few but curious as to what y'all have before i choose

that and what yall think of the ones you have currently.

[royal wagon]

Protube, fantastic

[faint wigeon]

I'm sure I could design it in a way so it has a shoulder brace, but that would really eliminate the whole function and benefit of the design,

To be super compact and out of the way, until you need to ADS.

[forest girder]

I mean kinda like the Istock but smaller if you’re familiar with it. And your design incorporated of course

[agile osprey]

the shipit code doesn't work for international shipping, if it did we'd be losing money on our stocks lol

[forest girder]

That would be the absolute best stock ever

[fierce coyote]

What is a good stock for under $50?

[forest girder]

Oh alright, would have saved me 45 bucks 😔

[forest girder]

There are next to none, but Istock, @thick hatch makes some 1pt stock, or 3d print one or construct one yourself

[fierce coyote]

With what some pcp pipe or metal rods?

[forest girder]

Yeah that could work

[faint wigeon]

Back in the day I made a stock for my Rift using PVC pipe, but you take the joints,

Heat them up in boiling water,

Then push the quest controller into the now soft PVC joint. Let it cool and you have a DIY molded controller cup to attach to a PVC pipe.

[fierce coyote]

Yeah maybe 🤔 but I think it will be bulky was that a problem for you

[faint wigeon]

No more bulky then any other full sized stock. But thats ganna be the cheapest option for a full sized stock. And you can get the PVC at any local Lowes or Home Depot.

[fierce coyote]

I live next to a Hardware 2 Minute Walk ez how much was it?

[faint wigeon]

Oh thats going to depend on where you live, but I wouldn't imagine it being more than $10-$20. Unless you can get the PVC cut to a specific length at the hardware store, in which case you can save more if you know the exact length you want the stock to be.

[faint wigeon]

Here is a guide I found real quick online that should help you get started, just ignore the section about using thermoplastic for molding finger grips. Thats not necessary (unless you want to do that):

http://www.iclays.com/VRGunstock/2020vrgunstock.html

[fierce coyote]

Okay thanks

I could make those grips with adhesive ez

[forest girder]

What happens if you BOIL

[visual sorrel]

Just ordered the istock half stock so I can loot and shoot

[gloomy flint]

I got sent one bc of my esports team and it’s honestly really not all that great

Just invest in a protube way better stabilization

[visual sorrel]

Some stability is better than nothing

[gloomy flint]

Or find another one that you like

[visual sorrel]

I'll see if I like this one

[gloomy flint]

Yea that’s fair ig but how much did you pay

[visual sorrel]

50 usd

[gloomy flint]

It’s worth a try you might like it, it’s just I personally didn’t

[visual sorrel]

I'm a small build it'll hopefully be fine

I looked at others and think they'd get in the way of me grabbing things or knocking stuff over in my room

[surreal quarry]

I’m stuck between the olen VR and the magnistock+ they are around the same price with the olen being a little cheaper but the magnistock has more adjustments. If anyone has had either of these what were your thoughts and what one would you recommend

[mortal fox]

I may make a tutorial on how to make my homemade vr stock

[crude merlin]

@agile osprey

I sense a marketing opportunity.

[limpid maple]

Sigh

[crude merlin]

Lmfao

[limpid maple]

I shot him and mans did a backflip

[crude merlin]

Not sure how that relates to gunstocks but verh funnh.

[thick hatch]

Check the pinned post for a reddit link on a pvc diy

[crude merlin]

How do i check pinned pists

VR FPS Games Accessories for Oculus Quest 2 Magnetic Controller Accessories https://a.co/d/giTmU7u

[visual sorrel]

Avoid anything that adds heft to your controllers especially if it's top mounted, go with the magnistock+ it mounts underneath the controllers and is very light

[surreal quarry]

Yeah that’s what I was looking at first because of the customization and the weight

[scarlet ferry]

If I buy a gunstock how tf do I pickup loot normally?

Will the controllers just be constrained in the gun thing?

[surreal quarry]

@scarlet ferry most have magnets so you can remove the controllers quickly

To reload grab stuff etc

[pure crown]

None

[surreal quarry]

https://youtu.be/SkZK5yg08FU

Like this

[thorny charm]

Has gunstock support been added yet

[velvet lava]

yes

[thorny charm]

How dose it work like onword?

[velvet lava]

yeah

just go in game, make sure virtual stock is disabled and you are good

[thorny charm]

Ight bet

[fallow sand]

Make those compatible with index knuckles and im a buyer

[velvet lava]

question for anyone that has the olen spine, if i wanna take the top rail off, will i still be able to use the sling or does it come off with it

[crude merlin]

Send me a link to it and ill give a close inspection and lyk what I think?

[pure crown]

None

None

[honest solstice]

Dud

[faint wigeon]

That would be cool, sadly I dont have knuckle controllers to work with to make that happen at the moment.

[balmy grove]

this is not true stock support btw.

[balmy grove]

if u buy this get it off the actual glistco site

its cheaper and comes faster

and you can directly talk to their support

[surreal quarry]

I’m gonna

I’m gonna get it tomorrow it’s currently 75 plus I signed up and got an extra 10%

[balmy grove]

and the magnets will already be attached to the stock, dont think ur missing them

[velvet lava]

What is?

[surreal quarry]

So it gonna be like $67

[balmy grove]

https://youtu.be/Ze6xMK3NvPo

this is

[balmy grove]

thats good, its crazy cause i bought a protube and my friend bought a magni, and he loved it and i hated my protube so i just got a magni and like it 10x more

only thing i dislike is the controller cups

sometimes my controller slips out lmao

[velvet lava]

I'm between the spine and magni

I found a code for the spine to get it for 76 plus the sling

But I'm not really sure which I should get

I heard that the top of the spine gets in the way sometimes but if I take I off then I can't use the sling anymore

[surreal quarry]

Yeah I saw a lot of people recommend the protube but when I saw it it looked just like the magni but double the price

[crude merlin]

i think the protube is way more customizable, thats why its so expensive.

its also definitely made of higher grade material(from what i've seen, I dont actually own one)

but u are paying more bc its a well known brand

[balmy grove]

magni comes with a sling and no tracking issues cause of rail mount

[slow frigate]

Did they add gunstock calibration?

[vestal shard]

Almost done

[unreal jolt]

not yet, but most of the guns are OK, atleast for my stock

[warped glade]

Looks like people talk mostly about the protube and the glistco magni+, are there any im missing?

[sonic scaffold]

Glistco or protube for HP Reverb G2? I see protube has a dedicated selection for G2 controllers where glistco doesn’t

[short bloom]

I'm thinking about a kobravr DMR any insight? Q2 btw

[visual sorrel]

Looks cool will make looting a pain in the ass alot of useless weight on there as well

[crude merlin]

the way i see it, is my gunstock doesnt have to look good bc i wont be looking at it 90% of the time

[ember flame]

iam just waiting for my tomahawk, anyone tried it yet ?

[fathom flume]

I was thinking of getting a tomahawk but the site is down for now

[drifting terrace]

so is gunstock calibration a thing yet?

nvm just saw, well I guess I'll go F myself with my VRS stock lol

[forest girder]

@gloomy flint @small tide this is the ultralight

[gloomy flint]

Is the front controller the only one that’s removable?

[forest girder]

yes

[small tide]

oh yeah get it then

that’s so much better than the sidewinder if the front is removable

[forest girder]

i think theres a magnet in the front im not sure

pretty cheap too, around the same price as the istocl

istock

[small tide]

oh

maybe i might just buy it 😭

[forest girder]

first one istock, second one ultralight. $2 difference

@small tide

[small tide]

yeah worth it

but i gotta go drive to school lmk what you get

[forest girder]

might buy ultralight tmrw, 30 day delivery ☠️

or even more

[tidal eagle]

Hella overpriced, im designing my own

Thanks though

[blazing kelp]

Looking for a gunstock for my Rift CV1.
are the controllers for Quest 2 and such the same size for the CV1?

[narrow berry]

Looking for a goood gun stock I have the kiwi controller straps for my quest 3

2

[stark imp]

are there any good left handed stocks? i shoot left handed and idk if most stock’s accommodate

and that arent gonna murder my wallet

[narrow berry]

I do to actually

[stark imp]

left handed shooter gang

[narrow berry]

Lol

I’m also blind in my right eye

[stark imp]

oh

[narrow berry]

Yeah

That’s why I shoot left handed

[thick hatch]

CV1 Controllers are different than Quest 2... the Rift S was teh similar one

[thick hatch]

I made a video on heat modifying my 3D Printed (original adapters) to work with the Kiwi Extended Grips and was the way I play for a LONG time with my MiniMag system.
https://youtu.be/bpI1IbBKvcQ

[thick hatch]

The other option is the top mounted systems "should" work, but I don't have any so can't verify.

[narrow berry]

Why are they all so expensive they all look cheap to make

[faint wigeon]

You would be surprised at the cost of production, specially these days. Not to mention the cost for shipping is based on weight.

@narrow berry there is also always the DIY PVC pipe route you could take for cheap

[thick hatch]

If you have a 3D Printer... sure the materials aren't bad for the 3D Print part... but the Metal Portions and Magnets aren't the cheapest.

You must also factor in time and effort to design, print, and put them together. Clean them up and verify that work as intended.

I do agree that "some" of the systems definitely seem overpriced by comparison, but it becomes no different than buying name brand vs off-brand... you pay more for the name... although ProTube does have a higher end finish and feel for the "pro"... but again you pay for it.

Personally (for my shop and items) I have always focused more on Function vs Form and offering an entry level price for someone looking to get in to Accessorizing their VR experience.

as Cheesy said... you can always go the DIY PVC Tube route... effective, not pretty, and not mag... but gets the job done and anyone can do it.

[faint wigeon]

I'll piggy back off this and say that I agree with everything, and i'll add that the production time, specially for smaller shops that dont have access to injection molding. So to 3D print a full stock w/parts, just for 1 can take easily 10hrs+, that followed by the prep work and assembly/testing.

Time + Labor = Factors in cost

[narrow berry]

Whats a good sticks that are cheap

[faint wigeon]

That looks like a great deal to me! Ide jump on it

[thick hatch]

There is a basic/general "retail" calculator that is commonly used...
$1 per print hour and $.10 per gram material (plus other materials like magnets, rods, etc)

[blazing nexus]

They’re fairly niche items with low sales volumes so each stock has to absorb more of the design cost.

[faint wigeon]

I also like to use the Prusa calculator they offer for gauging pricing:

https://blog.prusa3d.com/3d-printing-price-calculator_38905/

[forest girder]

What are kiwigrips

[narrow berry]

Does anyone have a promo code for spine vr stocks

To make it cheaper

[forest girder]

Do you live in the US?

[faint wigeon]

https://www.amazon.com/Controller-Compatible-Quest-Accessories-Oculus-2/dp/B08PP8SW2S?th=1

[narrow berry]

Yeah

[forest girder]

Try either SHIPIT or OLENVR

[thick hatch]

Personally... My Etsy shop is a side hobby (and hustle) that brings in extra "fun" money and freedom... but I guarantee... I would not be making a living wage doing it... even if volume were to scale... Currently it is a definitely part time job... and I could easily make more doing an actual part time job haha

but I enjoy the design, process, and joy that my items bring to others... so I keep on. It also provides me with a bit more platform and voice in the VR Community and let's me do nice things for others and giveaways and charity sponsorships and such.

[forest girder]

shipit makes shipping free

[forest girder]

I don’t see the point

[narrow berry]

None of them worked

[faint wigeon]

Same! I dont think unless your making hippy jewelry and selling it on Etsy, that you could pull in the revenue to make it a full time job lol. Ive had success on there selling airsoft related parts, but like you definitely not enough to quite my day job, but it helps pay for gas and donuts lol.

[narrow berry]

Ya nay

[forest girder]

You can always use Honey

[thick hatch]

I do have a 10w Laser Engraver/Cutter arriving sometime soon from Creality (for testing/program)...

I am really excited to see what it can do... I have already spent $150+ on materials for this "free" laser (regularly $210).

I think it has more potential for an easier/quicker revenue stream with the right items.

I can engrave Acrylic for Logos and such with light up signs... or wood... or do cut out acrlyic pieces etc...

[faint wigeon]

I was just about to say, yeah man start engraving some acrylic, and get some cheap RGB LED's on amazon, you could make some super sick RGB signs, that are pretty low effort (just engraving and gluing the LED's on).

[thick hatch]

Engraved versions sell for $30+ generally on Etsy

Will start by making one with my own Logo to test and see haha

Anyways... Back to gunstock talk.

I could cut out "Light Bringer" charms people could attach to their gunstock 😉

[faint wigeon]

Haha bro im excited for you, thats ganna be dope when you finally get that all setup

[narrow berry]

What do y’all think

[forest girder]

Looks big

[keen bloom]

not sure if it's beefy enough but people spend some crazy money on fancy etched mags or glock backplates

[thick hatch]

That is certainly an interesting thought/market... The laser is able to etch metal.

[faint wigeon]

Oh that thing is dope! I had no idea the Ender 3 had these types of swappable attachments.

[royal wagon]

AK Alpha

There isn’t even a second place

[forest girder]

ima just make my own out of pvc pipe, theres always $50 of tax and delivery when i look online

[velvet lava]

I'm looking at the magni and spine right now, does anyone have any preferences for them

[crude merlin]

Magni seems to be widely considered pretty decent, like a cheaper version of the protube.

[tacit pike]

is the gunstock setting in the game yet?

[royal wagon]

no

[gusty elm]

I have both Magni and protube! The magni is really good imo

I actually really like the controller cups and prefer them over then protube

But the protube I like the tube itself a little better

The magnetic pull with the magni controller cups is super strong and you will never struggle to find where you need to place your controllers.

[velvet lava]

Awesome thanks

I'll probably get it today

[gusty elm]

Solid choice I got the pro+ if that makes a difference

I’m not for sure the difference

This is the one I got

https://www.glistco.com/products/magni-stock-carbon-fiber

[velvet lava]

I can't find the pro plus only the plus

Thanks

[gusty elm]

Yeah sorry it wasn’t pro just the +

[velvet lava]

Yeah that's the one in looking at

[forest girder]

has anyone made this http://www.iclays.com/VRGunstock/2020vrgunstock.html

[velvet lava]

I found a code to get it for 63

[gusty elm]

Solid 👍

[faint wigeon]

I made one many years ago with my O.G Rift. It does the job without any frills (ie: magnets, removable cups, etc)

[forest girder]

how good is it, better than nothing?

[faint wigeon]

Well anything is better than nothing. I used it specifically for onward back in the day. I cant say how it would work for Tabor, specially with how Tabor handles hand angles and this stock doesn't give you any ability to adjust your grips angles.

[forest girder]

im too poor to use grips like that half of the time anyways, and i dont like them

[plucky scroll]

Anyone else rocking a Kobra Wolverine?

[trail cliff]

generally comes highly recommended

[forest girder]

@small tide regarding the stock, theres a huge tax on everything i want to buy so ima just make my own out of pvc pipe

[steel flicker]

I use it. I still find myself only using it if I’m playing island though as gun stocks in general are kinda cumbersome when it comes to looting and what not. So silo being close range I don’t find the need for it, but on island and longer ranges it’s nice.

[formal obsidian]

I don’t play too too much silo so it might be perfect for me

[shell minnow]

If anyone wants a cheap gunstock just look up i stock there like 40-50 bucks

I ordered the istock half stock will let you know how it performs when it comes in Friday

[thick hatch]

I still find it interesting how popular the iStock is...

[quick walrus]

I'm hoping this guy gets up and running soon. Saw Mr. Nix on YouTube using it. Looks like it would work great for me, since when I have my dominate hand near my Quest 2 the long gun stock jumps left or right a lot...

does anyone know why the 2 day is more than the 1 day?

[pure crown]

Pretty sure I've seen this stock for sale on Etsy

[lethal sinew]

just FedEx things

[velvet lava]

makes sense

[pure crown]

I used one of the original models (which was a lot cheaper) for Pop One and it worked well, setting the offhand influence low or to zero seems to be a thing people do in Pop a lot

This is my current stock : https://exact3d.co.uk/product/vr-hs-vr-gun-stock-full-kit-oculus-quest-2/

I like it for fast reloading (no magnet on the front grip) and it's adjustable enough for all the guns in Ghosts

[steel flicker]

That looks nice. I’m running into the issue of there being limited options for the quest pro controllers

[pure crown]

They have a model for the Pro controllers I think

[lethal sinew]

I had to Google it... Apparently priority charges by weight while economic is cheaper for bigger items (more flat rate). So if your item to be ordered is light... Priority is cheaper oddly enough

[velvet lava]

thanks

[quick walrus]

@pure crown yep, but his/their Etsy store is no longer there... They posted that they would like to be up and running within a couple of weeks.

[kind parcel]

I use this exact stock and ive been getting mad kills in island with it. Takes a bit to set up right the way you want it but once you do its bad ass I recommend it.

[plucky scroll]

Kobra Wolverine, leaves your left hand completely free, as well as comes with an option pump action slide.

[surreal quarry]

Just ordered the magnistock can’t wait for it to come

Got a hell of a deal on it too it’s on sale from 85 to 75 plus they gave me an extra 10% so I only payed $67

[gusty elm]

You will like it. I have it and the protube

The magnetic controllers cups on the magni stock are better imo

[balmy grove]

i would recommend getting it off their site its on sale right now

and comes faster

Can you send link?

[surreal quarry]

Yeah I just ordered it and got it for 67

[balmy grove]

if u need help just let me know.

now im off to mod my ready or not

[surreal quarry]

Will do

[pure jay]

is there a good gunstock i can get in europe that doesnt have to get swhipped from usa??

[velvet lava]

question for all the people with stocks, did you feel like you needed the stock? i feel like im performing pretty well without one but i was wondering if getting one basically just made you better?

[steel flicker]

It for sure helps with longer ranges since you can get way steadier. Do you NEED it? Nah. The virtual stock is pretty good imo

[velvet lava]

does it help with recoil?

[steel flicker]

No since that’s all in game. You might be able to stay steadier while controlling it but having a stock doesn’t make it go away

[velvet lava]

so would you say that it helped your aim?

[steel flicker]

With long distance stuff yeah. They’re cheap enough it was worth trying for me. I only use it if I’m playing island. On silo I don’t use it.

[trail cliff]

it helps for controlling recoil more consistently, and it makes point shooting and hip firing actually consistent + lining up your sights is consistent if you are keeping your cheek in the same spot at least

highly recommend a retractable cable or single point sling attachment for a game like tabor

[compact patio]

where can i buy?

[dusk dagger]

Look up SKOLVR, you'll see his socials. You can message him through those.

[velvet lava]

why?

[crude merlin]

Lets u drop the gunstock if u need to grab pistol or loot or something.

[bleak pebble]

what r some good stock recommendations?

[crude merlin]

Check pinned message

[lyric frigate]

idk if this is the right place to post it but for anyone does the virtual gun stock just feel weird and sort of off? like for example if i’m aiming the gun up to say look through the grates on silo i feel like i need to put my front hand higher then the barrel to aim. other then that i’d say the v-stock is good but it would be also cool to get some dampening options as the dampening on virtual stock is very high. i am also very new to this game

[alpine cradle]

I just DONT use it

If find it to be a nuisance all the time

[lyric frigate]

how do you aim without it? in every other vr game (contractors pavlov breachers etc.) i find the v stock to be super helpful but for this game it just makes it weird to aim

[alpine cradle]

Idk mani just ADS as always

[steel flicker]

It’s because it’s “anchoring” it to your shoulder and reducing “sensitivity”. So you need to exaggerate your movements in situations like that

[lyric frigate]

do you recommend it or nah should i just prsctice without it

[steel flicker]

I use it. I just work around it in situations like that. You hold the gun further out to “disengage” the virtual stock.

[lyric frigate]

alright gotcha thanks man

[warped oak]

Bro I got the i stock it’s like a half stock 10x better tha#n my full one

If that's what people want why not? There are tons of different stocks where some will work better then others and people will have questions... the only thing I see is "fuking stupid" is someone that coming in trying to get a raise out of something that your not interested in. Makes not sense

[warped glade]

… so let’s get this straight. You have grown up to be a (36?) year old (man?), and over the years developed many hobbies. One of them, being one of the most niche hobbys in the world - Virtual reality military simulation games. I mean, you /are/ here, after all. And yet, today, you opened discord, and in the blink of an eye decided, hey, this is where I draw the line. A VIRTUAL REALITY GUNSTOCK?!
And in your moment of disgust, you knew in your heart that you had to leave a mark on this earth to let others know, how you, StephenK87 feel about this particular, niche topic.

I'm annoyed because i was advised on not opening a channel to help WMR users because of potential problems it might bring, but i don't understand why people don't just use their arms to aim. I have seen people ask "Whats the best gun stock?" a few times and i don't understand why you spend £50 on a pole when you could use your ARMS. >_>

[warped glade]

• I mean, you kinda served up my answer for me. You yourself have seen multiple people ask what the best gun stock is - validating the necessity of this channel.

[empty sonnet]

I'm just wondering if you can change you name from StephenK87 to Karen or what is the male version oooh yeah Kevin.... you can be Kevin

[surreal quarry]

Why spend $300+ on VR when you can go do real activities outside

[empty sonnet]

Now I am curious on the Istock ... haven't seen it mentioned much (if at all) in here. See afew use it on YouTube seems ok(ish)

[crude merlin]

Why play a vr military sim when you can just join the military?

[empty sonnet]

Did that .... real bullets hurt

[barren quartz]

+17

[tacit wharf]

There is a huuge difference between using just your hands to aim or having 3 points of contact to aim. that's why. now stop bitching.

[fallow rover]

Are you ex-military?

[tacit wharf]

law enforcement

[fallow rover]

Police?

[tacit wharf]

yes?

[fallow rover]

check your pm

[thick hatch]

@fallow rover I didn't see the original, now deleted message... but from the responses I get the gist...

You think Virtual Reality Gunstocks are useless, have no place, offer nothing, and are a waste of money.

To you, all of those things may be true and certainly gunstock pricing can range dramatically from FREE (DIY/3D Printer) to $400+

What you get for that money/range also varies greatly, which is why this channel makes sense for those interested in using one and those that have experience with them.

On the topic of usefulness, they can be extremely useful to increase accuracy and stability in all types of games, from fast pace to classic military sim.

If you have never tried one... perhaps you can do a mini test at home and see if you think they can make a difference. Grab a stick/groom/rod. Hold your main controller and the rod in one hand. Grip the gun in game with your off-hand and hold the rod with the other hand. Now aim and fire at some targets and see if it helps with accuracy and stability. Then get back to us.

Personally I generally don't see the need for a 3pt or 4pt gunstock as there is no recoil in VR games (unless you are using the ProTube Haptics), but the 3rd point can add extra stabilization vs a 2pt mid-air option for those that like/want it.

The fact that ProTube can sell at the price it is and be the #1 recognized name... should tell you more than you need that Gunstocks have a place and use, just perhaps not for you.

[fallow rover]

I thank you for the input, but i will admit that got passionette and spoke too soon. I wanted to talk to one of the devs on the issue, but don't want to become a nuissane to them, should my issue not be important as fixing the game.

[thick hatch]

I have heard in particular that Ghosts of Tabor isn't quite setup for 3rd party/real life gunstocks as well as some other games... they have a built in "virtual stock" that is causing some incompatibility and issues vs other games.

I expect this is something they will quickly resolve.

If you want a prime example of the type of customization EVERY shooter needs for gunstock use. Just load up Contractors and see their system to tweak your alignment exactly to match your style and stock... similar to Golf+ Golf Attachment options.

[fallow rover]

I will speak to todd again, see if i can get something sorted.

[velvet lava]

Bro did you take a picture through the lenses and not a screenshot?

Innovation

[barren quartz]

Yea idk why but when i was trying it wasn’t popping up on the app

[velvet lava]

Works

That's a lot of guns

[barren quartz]

Thanks I haven’t play for like 5 says tho

[thorny parcel]

Anyone tried the ISTOCK gunstock ?

[barren quartz]

All my loot

[fallow moat]

ill do you one better

[barren quartz]

Nice

[sage verge]

damn you got a lot

[high pine]

https://www.bowkvr.com/shop/complete-gunstocks

Anybody try these out?

I love the look and simplicity

[fallow moat]

never thought id see you here

[sage verge]

[fallow moat]

noice

[gusty elm]

https://clips.twitch.tv/ObedientBrightButterNononoCat-kM777bV4c7G-aCGX

[barren spire]

Built my own. No need to ever detach controllers from stock. Works great for tabor

[thick hatch]

If it works, it works 😉

Don't need to be fancy to be functional and not like you are going to a tournament or something public haha

[barren spire]

I would bring it to a tournament its perfect for tabor 🙂

[thick hatch]

😉 Would love to see you smoke the ProTubers 😉

[barren spire]

Lmao

[forest girder]

What’s it made of

PVC?

[barren spire]

Ill send a more updated pictures tonight as i have improved it quite a bit. And ill include everything needed to make it.

It costs under $10 to make

[fierce folio]

Will you include instructions or will the steps to make it be obvious?

[barren spire]

I will include instructions.

[fierce folio]

Okay

[wooden citrus]

i have istock and bowk marksman stocks. if someone wants to know about those

istock is helping some, but nothing compared to bowk.. but before this game is getting gunstock calibration you can only use few guns with bowk marksman.. e.g. m4

[barren fern]

anyone know a cheap but good gunstock?

[pure jay]

—HELP—
Guys im from Europe
Do you guys know any good gunstock I can get that is not shipped from the states??

[visual sorrel]

Istock half stock 50 usd on Amazon

Mine is in the mail

Will let you know if it's worth it I've heard good things

[barren fern]

sure thx

im from eu so hope shipping isnt too bad then

[forest girder]

was gonna order a kobra stock, €20 shipping €20 tax

[torn flume]

Mines been in the mail for a month now I’m from the states tho

[forest girder]

Oof

[kind parcel]

whats going on in here?

why is everybody pissed lol

[forest girder]

Pissed?

Who

[pure jay]

Do anyone know if this is good?

[kind parcel]

i misread the situation haha sorry

[gusty elm]

I highly recommend the magni stock +

I love the controller cups so much

[kind parcel]

i use it everyday

[gusty elm]

Here’s what I run

https://clips.twitch.tv/ObedientBrightButterNononoCat-kM777bV4c7G-aCGX

Magnetic pull on the magni controller cups is better then the protube IMO

But the protube has 3 points you can adjust so I put 2 and 2 together lol

[blazing nexus]

I’m torn between the Bowk Invert Marksman and the Sanlaki. Are there any owners of either stock in here that can share their thoughts on them?

[royal wagon]

thats a magtube and its very good

[barren spire]

And everything you need to build

[ember urchin]

Kobra Vr is in EU, I believe

[dim halo]

Just got this one

[stoic stag]

How is it? I'm thinking about getting the same one

[dim halo]

Definitely prefer it over the other ones I have

Nice and firm and easy to use

[kind parcel]

i tried to buy from olen a couple weeks ago and they told me it would be weeks before they even mailed one.

[dim halo]

Yeah it takes a hot min

[stoic stag]

Aight good to know!

[dim halo]

Definitely a turn off

[kind parcel]

i went with the magni+ and it got to me in 3 days.

[stoic stag]

Quality is good as well then?

[dim halo]

Yup!

[kind parcel]

Question

does the plastic ontop get in the way of switching attachments?

[royal wagon]

does it have adjustments regarding the position and angle of the front cup? thats a critical feature

[barren spire]

Plastic can be removed

[forest girder]

@small tide ready to see the stock?

[kind parcel]

yeah but at that point shouldnt you just buy a cheaper 3d printed one with the same design?

[barren spire]

Badass

[forest girder]

Whatever gets the job done

[shell minnow]

How much is it tho

[forest girder]

No sling yet

[gusty elm]

Magni stock + is around 70 usd and protube/magetube is around 150 usd

[slim jackal]

for $20 in magnets and < $3 in plastic this thing is decent https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4257873

[stoic cairn]

Oh, hello there.

[forest girder]

Made some slight adjustments. THIS STOCK CRAZY

[slim crescent]

Is that PVC pipe?

[forest girder]

Yup

[narrow berry]

Bro how did u do that

[forest girder]

Followed a guide

[narrow berry]

Can u send it to me

[forest girder]

Sure

http://www.iclays.com/VRGunstock/2020vrgunstock.html

@narrow berry

[narrow berry]

That looks cool but I might just put silicone for the controllers or use the kewi controller straps

[forest girder]

Yeah man whatever works

[sudden kayak]

Anyone know any relatively cheap stocks I could get

[forest girder]

Make your own

[velvet lava]

what other ones do you have

[velvet lava]

did you do the free shipping?

[kind parcel]

Nope lol I paid for fast shipping but I wanted it it NOW!

[velvet lava]

how is the magni?

[kind parcel]

It’s pretty damn good. It comes with super glue which definitely needs it. Also I had to ad some scotch tape to my right controller so it doesn’t pop out of the magnet socket thing. But other than that I’ve been killing player left and right with it for sure.

[velvet lava]

nice

do you feel like it helps a good amount

[kind parcel]

I mean the virtual stock was doing pretty good for me but if you got the money it’s worth it.

It does help with keeping your gun straight

Your front hand wobble disappears

[velvet lava]

bet

[slim jackal]

It usually makes everything except aiming a two handed weapon more difficult and slower though

There's a learning curve to be smooth and quick with them

[velvet lava]

yeah but for those situations i can just drop it with the stock

or the uhh

i forgot what its called

[forest girder]

Sling?

[velvet lava]

yes

[forest girder]

I dont see how they work tbh

Can you remove both controllers from the stock?

Your stock

[velvet lava]

yeah

[forest girder]

I cant with mine so theres not much reason to have a sling, is there?

[velvet lava]

yeah for yours

[forest girder]

for sure?

[velvet lava]

what

[forest girder]

Im wondering if you made a type

typo*

[formal kayak]

I know that GoT currently does not have gunstock calibration, but could someone explain to me, as new VR player with a Gunstock, what it actually does? Does it mean I dont need to change the physcial setup of my stock for each gun or something else?

[forest girder]

Pretty much

[formal kayak]

Oh nice! Thanks!

Have we been given a rough ETA when it will be in GoT?

[velvet lava]

no

[gusty elm]

This is what I currently run for reference https://clips.twitch.tv/ObedientBrightButterNononoCat-kM777bV4c7G-aCGX

[formal kayak]

That cool, it will take as long as it takes I guess.

[noble gust]

Does anyone know what gunstock this guy is using?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ3TvegghNk&t=157s

[formal kayak]

Its been linked here before, its some guy who is resetting his shop up again if I recall corr3ectly.

Tomohawk Vr Stock I believe

If you scroll up for a bit you'll see it linked.

[formal kayak]

This.

[noble gust]

Thanks

[formal kayak]

No worries, I've been eyeing off myself. 🙂

[compact harbor]

Has anybody tried the spine gunstock for quest 2?

[late geode]

Here is a 10% discount code for iSTOCK! https://istockgaming.com/discount/istock

[kind gull]

Should I get I stock?

[limpid rose]

I bought that stock and it kinda sucks man maybe I got a bad one but the magnets that attach the controls to the metal tube of the gun are weak af

[ashen rain]

Are there any good stocks for index controllers? Everything I see is for the stick drift Rift S or Quest controllers

[marsh wedge]

i need this but for pico 4😭

[crude merlin]

i know this isnt a headstrap channel

but anyone got a battery headstrap they recommend

Nice. Abo7t how long does the little battery thing last?

[thick hatch]

BoboVR all day every day

[crude merlin]

alright nice, im just getting tired of only being able to play games for an hr and a half

its annoying af to be deep into a game and then I gotta get off bc my headsets a little bitch

[swift nebula]

Each battery lasts like 2 hours and the batteries are detachable. You can buy extra batteries for it as well

[crude merlin]

alright cool, i think imma get the pack with the strap, 2 batteries, and the charger thing.

[velvet lava]

it is so fucking amazing

the way it works is that you have a baseplate that charges them and when 1 gets low you put it on the charger and get the full one so its essentially infinite playtime

and its hella comfortable

[crude merlin]

hell yeah, infinite playtime is a win in my book lol

[shy aspen]

bobo vr

anyone have the spine stock? is it good? i ordered mine. should be coming in 2 ish weeks

[thick hatch]

https://twitch.tv/jBahrVR

he is streaming now and using the Spine while on KatWalk C2
@shy aspen

He streams 3 times a week

Pavlov Match night

He is actually playing with @agile osprey right now haha

[faint wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-hercules-gif-22417674

Out of curiosity I checked out the stream to see how the treadmill works. He's on the treadmill but he's walking using the joystick..

[thick hatch]

He definitely uses the treadmill, but yes there is a bit of a mix depending on the situation.

[warped glade]

Alright lads I ordered a Glistco magnistock+. Rats be warned

[agile osprey]

how long ago did you get yours?

[gentle echo]

Anyone have the iStock? How do u like it

[steel scarab]

fam just run it through your shirt and put it in your pocket get a long enough cord 3ft should be enough 💀

[maiden bobcat]

bobovr m2 always

[barren spire]

It balances the headset out by having the battery on the back.

So i can wear it comfortavly for much longer

[waxen echo]

I 3d modeled and 3d printed my own gunstock similar to istock (https://istockgaming.com/discount/istock). it works great, it was just a fun little diy project!

This was my first variation which was just kinda a test and I’m currently 3d printing the next photo because the stock is longer and it’s just a better version.

[urban hamlet]

Any suggestions for gunstocks that will maximise my gameplay

[maiden bobcat]

It really depends on pricerange

Some people swear by the istock

Gotta just try em and see

[narrow berry]

Ur just seems like it’ll be hard to play with a gun stick

[pseudo roost]

I got the protube, pretty decent one, can be adjusted for left and right handed shooters, and the adjustment points are good for getting your hands in right place, little fiddly to get it just right but when it’s there that shaky sniping goes away lol

[polar glade]

To anyone looking at the iSTOCK, just buy BowkVR and ask for the half stock like I did (or buy spare parts from ProTubeVR)
Better value for money

With shipping, the half stock from bowkVR cost $66USD
And it has an adjustable cheek rest, customised colour, as well as the option of being built into a full stock later

[polar glade]

Is it the 1st if I've been using one for years??

[forest girder]

halfstock wont help much

but they will help

get a 3pt stock

[polar glade]

Depends if you're using them for pistols or not

[forest girder]

for rifles, not so much

[polar glade]

And it provides a stable and consistent base for your rifle. Helps more than you'd think

But for rifles, not as good as a full stock for sure

[forest girder]

for pistols I prefer no stock

[polar glade]

Breachers especially benefits from a pistol stock

[forest girder]

I made my own 3pt stock for 25 bucks

[polar glade]

Not everyone has that option

But it's defs cheaper

[forest girder]

It’s made from purely pvc pipes

and rope if you want a sling

[polar glade]

I know ppl who can't hammer a nail into a wall, so not everyone is capable of making their own stock lol

[forest girder]

Jesus

[forest girder]

It’s very simple, the hard part is finding the right measurements

[polar glade]

I'm aware

[forest girder]

And sawing the pieces

Then just put it together

[polar glade]

And that's where you'd lose everyone lol

Hence capitalism haha

[forest girder]

Did they not do woodwork and stuff in school?

It’s mandatory here

[polar glade]

Not everyone did. I've still got my 1st keychain somewhere haha

[formal kayak]

You also got to remember a lot of ppl are money rich but time poor.

Not me mind, but some ppl. 😄

If you work 70-80 hours a week, you'd probably prefer to spend that 3-4 hours playing VR with a $100 stock than spending $30 and losing that 3 hours building a stock. 🙂

[lapis torrent]

Who needs a vr gunstock when you can use your chin to stabilise your aim

Did I mention I'm poor

[formal kayak]

which brings us back to this too... 😄

[polar glade]

Plus it looks undeniably better

[formal kayak]

That too!

[sage verge]

Oh that’s what this channel is for… I thought it was for showing what guns someone has stocked up (ingame screenshot)

[forest girder]

took me under 10 mins, if you exclude getting the parts which took 20 mins at most

also I don’t have a job, so this is cheaper

• I don’t see the stock while playing so it doesn’t need to look good

[forest girder]

there should be a channel for that

good idea

[balmy grove]

everyone with a shit looking custom stock says this lol. it’s the fact you have a fat ass pvc pipe just sitting in the corner of your room lmao

[forest girder]

it’s not like it’s on display

[polar glade]

Except when it is

[forest girder]

What?

[polar glade]

You both don't stream and live in isolation

Otherwise someone would surely see it lol

[forest girder]

Nah I don’t stream

[polar glade]

And live in isolation, otherwise whoever you live with or have over would see it

It's not exactly a conversation piece

That being said, I'm sure I have uglier things than pvc pipe lying around haha

[forest girder]

Do you have conversations about your stock?

[polar glade]

Yep

[forest girder]

Weird

How do those go

[pallid viper]

For those who have full stock do you guy's have them setup to work with all the guns? Most smg and assault rifle for me are aligned but the sks and the first bolt action rifle I can't aim with them it's like there being held lower and more on the right.

[polar glade]

Just talk about what I use it for, who made it and how the vr industry in Oceania is being supported by small business

[forest girder]

Sounds good

I get your point

[polar glade]

Rather than some shed tools lying around lol

[thick hatch]

Are you posting the design to Thingiverse?

[balmy grove]

if you have a magni or mag tube you have to adjust your magnet points until it just feels right

we need calibration soon

[polar glade]

Some ppl attach multiple cups too, so that each gun had its correct 'spot'

[gusty elm]

https://clips.twitch.tv/ObedientBrightButterNononoCat-kM777bV4c7G-aCGX

[forest girder]

stock with a sliding mechanic would be cool

[polar glade]

I imagine that would be very hard to secure solidly
My biggest issue with cheap stocks is the wiggle

[forest girder]

Some side of locking mechanism

Like clampers

[narrow berry]

I’m being told the spine blocks ur hands from reaching the gun slide and reloading on quest is that true

[forest girder]

yes, you can remove that part though but you’ll not be able to use a sling

[narrow berry]

Then what’s the pout of buying it lol

[forest girder]

It’s made for other games initially I think

[polar glade]

It depends how you angle it tbh

I personally use the half stock cause I don't like having to think about things externally from what I'm seeing in VR

[narrow berry]

What’s a halfe stock

[forest girder]

There’s only a buttstock

[narrow berry]

Oh yeah I don’t like that

[forest girder]

Same

[vague bolt]

just get the tomahawk when it comes available

[narrow berry]

You want a picture of the discussion ?

[vague bolt]

its cheaper than most if not all

[vague bolt]

150 usd for the tomahawk pro, the normal tomahawk is like $80 usd

That's the cost of both of my current ones together
