PCVR wouldnt be an issue

[sour fossil]

PC VR via airlink on Quest

Hmmm.. tempting then, eBay has lots of bhaptics for an ok price.

[short bloom]

All stocks have fan boys ... me personally I prefer a non magnet stock in the 3daptive Magnus R... I have used magni+ from Glistco.. it is a good stock but the magnets although strong required to much tightening to stay solid on the tube and my connectors cracked ... Protube has a huge following but I also watch alot of users of that stock struggle to reconnect magnets... at the end of the day buy one use it and make your own call ... I have to contact the maker of the Magnis R to see if he can adapt to index controllers cause currently only supports meta and HTC products. Hope this helps.

[bright agate]

just a heads up as another 3d printer hobbyist. id do some digging into different material properties if i were you. petg has been hailed as stronger than pla/pla+ for a long time now but if you look into some testing done by people like cnc kitchen or others that doesnt seem to hold up well in practice, especially with impact resistance which is the main force youd need to work about witha vr gunstock. idk local filament prices near you but some home testing or research with whatever filament brands you use might make it possible for you to find a cheaper option with the same or better strength to either increase your margins or lower consumer cost

by the impact resistance thing i mean from the testing ive seen petg has a very negligable edge that doesnt seem worth the trade off that is how harsh it fails when it does fail. i was honestly kind of surprised the differences were so small

https://youtu.be/ycGDR752fT0 @faint wigeon cnc kitchen is so well known in the community you may have already seen this but he did some light testing already if youre interested in that kind of stuff. good looking stock by the way

[faint wigeon]

I appreciate the insight! However CNC kitchens tests are using hydraulic machines for absolutely extreme tests. I've been abusing the same stock daily for months without any wear.

There's not enough force being exerted on my stock to warrant any issues or concerns with part failure.

Also I print on slow speeds with zero fans to allow the PETG to bond even stronger.

[bright agate]

i know and thats what i mean, i assume youre printing high heat and likely in enclosures. if you end up expanding your business thats extra stuff to do for every printer you add to your farm, for the product you make and the sort of stress its exposed to it might not be worth the trouble of using petg over a decent brand pla+ thats likely not going to be noticably weaker excluding temp resistance

[faint wigeon]

Im a big fan of PETG personally, I used to make airsoft grenades printed in PETG (with a PVC body) and their main use was being abused and thrown around an indoor warehouse field, with a concrete floor.

I never had an issue, the PETG was strong as a rock.

[bright agate]

fair, if it works for you it works for you either way you have something special as a stock design man its an impressive idea. hopefully clones dont pop up too soon

[kindred narwhal]

virtual stocks are for the weak

now i may be a coward but i aint weak

[mint sun]

Does anyone use a Sanlaki gunstock on GoT? and can help me get it set up? (:

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal just say your broke

[kindred narwhal]

Why would i buy something i can make outta things from home depot

Also virtual stocks are literally for the weak armed

Arms meanin limbs not weapons

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal but professionals use them make that make sense

[kindred narwhal]

Professionals?

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal any pro league tournaments fps wise use vr gunstocks

@kindred narwhal the back hand sway is a mf

[kindred narwhal]

Ah yes cod mw2019

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal pavlov tourneys shit like that

[kindred narwhal]

Press it against your cheek and get back to me

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal I been doing that

@kindred narwhal but I just ordered a magni stock pro plus

[kindred narwhal]

Weak arms lead to unsteady aim in a vr game so they would need a virtual stock so in turn virtual stocks are for the weak

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal I work like 50 hrs a week im drained physically from hard labor my arms gonna shake a little

[kindred narwhal]

So meaning your arms are weak due to fatigue

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal guess that would be hitting the nail on the head

[kindred narwhal]

So meaning a person who only uses it when their arms are weak

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal yes but don't buy this cheesy dudes plastic pos

[kindred narwhal]

So virtual stocks help alot when you have rather weak arms

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal like your holding a real gun so to speak no sway at all

[kindred narwhal]

So a gunstock would be needed to stabilize a rifle in vr if your arms are too weak to stay stable

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal plus a cheek pad too so that sniping hella easier

[kindred narwhal]

So virtual stocks are for the weak

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal lmao just be broke then and cry about it

[kindred narwhal]

Why would i buy something that i both dont and can easily go to home depot to make

I aint broke im cheap

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal harder than you think got to mold the controllers so that they will mount to it

[kindred narwhal]

I dont need it since i dont got weak ass arms

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal get off your lazy ass and work harder all I can say man

[kindred narwhal]

So i have work harder to make my arms weaker so that i need to waste my money on something i didnt need in the first place

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal when you got money to waste why not try to improve your vr fps experience

[kindred narwhal]

No thanks

My arms aint weak

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal ight keep letting these people with vr stocks wipe their ass with you

[kindred narwhal]

Well in pavlov id beg to differ

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal I aint too bad with just my controllers but this stock sheesh instant aim difference

[kindred narwhal]

Yeah if i need to be accurate i just sit or stand

Still hit em though

I mainly play fast paced low risk games

Contractors, onward, pavlov, etc

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal I been playing with just controllers and then I got a wild hair up my ass and bout a gunstock

[kindred narwhal]

If u want to play some pavlov then add scarletking1 on oculus

Nickname is holy fk theres bees

Im open to a challenge

[vocal sequoia]

@kindred narwhal I got you later

[kindred narwhal]

You dont need to @ everytime

Just hit reply

[fast gorge]

bro @'s someone to reply 💀
do you have the old discord or smth

[old storm]

thanks 🙏

[short bloom]

No problem...Good luck finding a Stock that you enjoy

[cunning zephyr]

any1 have any recommendations for gunstocks

[faint wigeon]

https://www.freedomstockvr.com/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctZTfK58t3c&

[cunning zephyr]

wait wtf how do u think of that

[faint wigeon]

Lol the VR gunstock market as been pretty copy & paste for many years in terms of designs. I wanted something different that gives you the added stability and control of a gunstock, while not sacrificing on mobility or speed. Thus, the Freedomstock was born

[cerulean fable]

Any1s calibration for certain guns and guns that have sights so off for your gun stock?

[surreal quarry]

@remote tiger what 3d printer do you have. I’m in the market for one and want to know what people generally use. I’m looking at the Ender 3 v2 neo or the Ender 3 max neo

[remote tiger]

honeslty i got the standard ender 3

still up there in the average consumer grade printers.

[faint wigeon]

If you want to just print without worrying about upgrades (it's an already upgraded V2), go with the 3 Neo, if your okay with upgrading and you wanna save $20-40 and do the upgrades yourself, go with the 3 V2.

I personally have two Ender 3 v2's and just did the upgrades myself.

[surreal quarry]

Yeah I think I’m set on the v2 neo

It’s on sale rn for 270 usd

[ember flame]

Any one having gun angle issues after last patch i feel all guns are angeled more to my chest than shoulder messes with my aim

[deft timber]

@faint wigeon Can you tell me about the headphone setup you have on your Q2 in your video above

I'm looking to do something for my Q2 that's integrated

[remote tiger]

ik you didnt ask me but i can not recomend these enough
Skullcandy Crusher Evo

when playing games the bass in them shakes your head and the gunshots feel so good

[deft timber]

Appreciate the recco but I'd like something I can integrate into the strap

[remote tiger]

fair enough wum into the strap? ohhh i see

[deft timber]

Watch cheesy's video above and look at his headphone setup

[remote tiger]

nvm

[pure crown]

I feel like I bought a Istock ripoff

[surreal quarry]

Pics?

[kindred tartan]

My stock arrived today!!

Any tips for calibration?

[icy cobalt]

Congratulations!
I'm unsure of what stock you have, so here's my schpiel for the one I like.
First thing to figure is if you want your primary weapon to be perfect or if you want a general use thing.

Either way, set whatever your cheek rest is to its lowest position, align your trigger hand to the gun. Then align your forehand to where the model is. Then set your cheek rest to your preferred weld. Try it from standing, standing with sling engaged, kneeling, sitting, and prone. The different positions alter the geometry of your body and thus will change how you interact with the stock.

Then give it a try with all the others of the same class and see if anything needs to be altered. The good news is that guns are made for people. Basically all modern guns are within two inches of length of pull and the distance between hands. So you can get it set for every gun, or just the one you want, and the differences will be small.

I'm unsure of your shooting pedigree, but there's tradeoffs in stock setup we can talk about. For most people, you want a relatively low weld and completely upright head.
I'd recommend setting up your standard standing shooting position, closing your eyes, level your rifle to horizontal, opening your eyes, and fine tuning that way.

[kindred tartan]

Cool thanks

[kind lichen]

Have you seen the anycubic kobra 2? It looks sick with those fast print speeds

[faint wigeon]

It's these Kiwi ear muffs. Great for amplifying to sound without putting in headphones. I need to hear my surroundings but also wanted the audio to be louder.

KIWI design Silicone Ear Muffs... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085S2LYZN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[faint wigeon]

It does look pretty nice! The one that's really caught my attention is the AnkerMake M5, talk about sexy with all the bells and whistles 🫣

[kind lichen]

Haha yah that thing looks like it’s straight out of a s sci-fi movie! If budget weren’t a question I would own it rn, but for now the anycubic will be my next printer👍

Hey with your ender 3 upgrades what do you have your print speeds up to?

[gray maple]

So with protube does anyone else have issues keeping the controllers connected

[royal wagon]

No, I can have one controller connected and shake it and it stays

The magnets are absurdly powerful

[gray maple]

it keeps disconnecting from my headset

[royal wagon]

Your headset?

[gray maple]

So while in games it disconnects from my headset and it gets me killed every now and then bc i can move my hands

[royal wagon]

What headset?

[gray maple]

oculus

[royal wagon]

That doesn’t narrow it down in the slightest

[gray maple]

sorry rage but its quest 2

[royal wagon]

I’ve used an index, quest 1, vive, vive pro and cv1 extensively with a protube and had no issues

[gray maple]

the problem is i didnt have this issue with my old gunstock

[royal wagon]

That’s pretty bizzare, have you compared how the cups line up? Perhaps you have it too close and you are losing tracking

That’s about the only thing I could think of

[gray maple]

im gonna try replacing my batteries and see if that fixes it

@royal wagon i do have a question tho can i dm u?

[faint wigeon]

Exactly, if only budget wasn't an issue haha. I print slow and hot for the strongest PETG bond. My speeds set to 40

[deft timber]

Appreciate that. I'll take a look

[strong elbow]

Hear me out chat…

Think I found the butt to my mamut stock for the sks

Js maybe garage sale red riders could be low key op for gunstocks

[viscid pulsar]

The tomahawk is really cool but costs an ubsurd amount tbh, the freedomstock is a really nice price and essentially is very similar, therefore I just bought the freedomstock and am looking forward to it.

[formal kayak]

That's the beauty of the market, there is a stock for everyone and especially the one person teams, these things are made with love and passion for the hobby. So pick the one that takes your fancy.

[vapid heart]

my mamut is setup pretty similar to yours lol

At least the basic idea of it

[proven meadow]

Damn

[short bloom]

3daptive Modus R

Love it... no magnets

[severe swallow]

Lol I didn't know they looked like this bro that looks like the setup to my olympic style target rifle ahahaha

[faint wigeon]

I may be alittle bias, however, Ide say you made the right choice haha. Thank you!

https://tenor.com/view/heres-to-you-wink-and-point-gif-14737099

[loud jolt]

Im loving mine too

[viscid pulsar]

I have yet to find better on the market for a reasonable price

[empty swift]

Is getting a gunstock worth it (aim-wise) and if so where and what kind should I get

[remote tiger]

i would highly recomend one
i sell mine for 32.99 dm if you are interested @viscid pulsar @empty swift

this is one of the guys that bought mine

[viscid pulsar]

It seems that it immensely betters aim, if you are looking for one around 70 dollars the freedomstock looks really good. It all depends on price and preferances.

[remote tiger]

for 5$ more i would get the freedomstock v2

[kindred narwhal]

Virtual stocks are for those of weak arms

[faint wigeon]

Oh no there is no v1 or v2 lol, its just Freedomstock (v2 has replaced v1 entirely and v1 isn't offered anymore as of a month ago).

[remote tiger]

gotchaaaa

[strong elbow]

Bro I need to toss pads on the end pieces like that. Good idea man

[vapid heart]

🙂

[topaz drift]

anyone know a good gunstock for cv1 controllers?

[strong elbow]

Idk if mamut still has the cv1 cups on stock but I’d imagine them or Protube would be your best bet, that way if you go get a different headset you can buy the controller adapters and not a whole new gun stock

[peak wraith]

wat woud you guys recemend for a budget

[formal kayak]

anyone uk based want to buy my sidewinder? Is it ok to ask this here?

only reason I'm selling is now use the Tomahawk 100% of the time, so its sitting unused.

DM me if you are interested.

It was my go to stock before I got my TH, but...its less than half the price, so it might be right for someone else.

Im selling it for cost price plus shipping, but you dont have to wait for 6-7 weeks.

so 50 quid plus I think about 10 quid shipping if you are UK based.

[remote tiger]

dm me i have one for u

32.99

[eager turtle]

I’m having trouble calibrating my gunstock, it won’t let me grab the gun with both controllers

[remote tiger]

dont use gunstock calabration rn it sucks ass thats just my advice. its to early in development

[eager turtle]

So basically gunstocks aren’t very usable At the moment?

[remote tiger]

they are useable. gunstock calabration is not

i use my gunstock just fine wihtout it sure some guns are tilted different but i can make do

[eager turtle]

I mean yea it’s usable but I can’t really aim down my sights. More like I’m playing CSGO

[remote tiger]

adjust your tilt offest

[eager turtle]

What setting do you have it at? I’ll try it from there

[remote tiger]

quest 2?

[eager turtle]

Yes

[remote tiger]

for ar's i got 63

[eager turtle]

Where is that setting? I don’t even see it

[remote tiger]

if i remember correctly its like axis tilt setting or controler tilt setting

its not in gunstock calabrtaion its on the settings menu

[eager turtle]

Yea I don’t see anything like that in settings

[remote tiger]

let me check

[eager turtle]

Grip threshold, dead zones those are the closest to it

[remote tiger]

no its below that

[eager turtle]

All I see is movement multiplier and scrolling speed

Are you plugged into PC? Wondering if it’s a different setting for that.

[remote tiger]

let me boot the game

[eager turtle]

Cause I know the setting you mean, I use that on Breachers to calibrate

[remote tiger]

one sec

turn off gunstock calibraiotn

[ember flame]

That setting is gone since a couple of months

[remote tiger]

no way i used it like 3 days ago

[ember flame]

Are you sure i havent found it since some update in march

[remote tiger]

nah i used it right after gunstock calabraiton

[ember flame]

I fixed all my alignment issues with it, one day it was just gone

[remote tiger]

hand pitch rotation offsety

[ember flame]

On quest standalone?

[remote tiger]

no

if you are standalone it prob isnt a setting that would make sense

[ember flame]

It was in standalone before… not anymore too bad they removed it

[remote tiger]

ahhhh

[eager turtle]

Ah so I just gotta plug it into my pc

That’s what I figured, I’ll test it later then. Thanks

[viscid pulsar]

virtual desktop works like a charm now

just have to follow their instructions

[long kite]

Why you not using it anymore ? What you get the th instead

[long kite]

Why *

[formal kayak]

I now use the tomahawk.

It's a kickass stock but the tomahawk also lets me do two hand melee and stuff.

[long kite]

Wish you would have told me sooner. Mines just come today haha just seen the th it's stunning

[left plover]

need help. i calibrated my smg which the mp5 is nice but now if i pick up certian smgs i cant aim for crap with it

[long kite]

Just done the same haha few people are saying don't calibrate them yet. I am tempted to just reset them. Noticed mine are all a little high aim

[dreamy stone]

got the tomahawk recently and noticed the folding stock when fully extended sort of overextends and bows outward. is that intentional? it seems to line up correctly in contractors but in tabor a lot of guns seem to be tilted to the left

[long kite]

Sounds like a common problem with all gun stocks at the min. I am sure they will fix it soon 🙂 my sidewinder points a little up. I have been playing with the settings. But we will see after the next update.

[vapid heart]

mamut does not anymore, theyre discontinued

[icy cobalt]

Generally don't like mamut stocks

I'm going to start making content on wipe day

[strong elbow]

…. This is a chat for gunstocks not promotion dude

[kindred ivy]

Sooo..... I use the tomohawk gunstock and im finnaly working out the configurations for all the gun calibrations but I've ran into an offsset bug which I have demonstrated in this video. (ps. I didnt know my mic was working so I couldve just talked the whole time sorry for the breathing lul)

File is too big and im broke for nitro so here is an imgur link: https://imgur.com/QaqBhrT

[faint wigeon]

R.I.P.. the major flaw of the Tomahawk is that there's no adjustability, no adjusting pitch or angles of your controllers at all, it relies solely on in game calibration if the stocks aim is off.

Which is super unfortunate for the price you paid for it.

[kindred ivy]

so waht do you recomind

[faint wigeon]

Just gotta wait it out until they fix the stock calibration in Tabor

[kindred ivy]

ahh okay okay thank you so much @faint wigeon

[kind lichen]

I’m finding that the SKS and especially the vector are the worst for gunstocks, I’m curious if anyone else agrees and what stock are you using?

[vapid heart]

Have you ever used one?

[vapid heart]

For good Mamut VR and Protube for everything else everyone has bias based one what they have

[icy cobalt]

It was my first stock.

Not a good design, and generally awful for index

[icy cobalt]

Bowk

[vapid heart]

Hmm I use one, then again I don’t have index issues, heard that bottom mounts are hard to use on it

[icy cobalt]

Neither top or bottom mounts were good and displaced the controllers horizontally. Stock was fragile, joints relied purely on tension, whole thing had very little rigidity, and the magnet mounts were not good.
I broke three joints with ordinary use over time, and was greatly dissatisfied.

[vapid heart]

Yeah I have zero issues with mine, did you have the apto 3?

[tidal barn]

If anyone has ever thought about buying a vr gunstock this is the time! Get 20% off of everything in store using code “GECKOSTOCKDISCOUNT” at (https://www.etsy.com/shop/KioMaestroVR?coupon=GECKOSTOCKDISCOUNT)

[icy cobalt]

How many different stocks have you actually used?
Yeah, I had the apto. Have you felt how much wiggle there is just in the controller mounts?

[vapid heart]

I have zero wiggle in any of my mounts, I’ve used a Protube mamut glistco and the olen vr stock

Mamut is easily my favorite

All metal contsruction adjustable everywhere

Holds well. Zero issues.

[icy cobalt]

Credit to them as a company, their customer service always treated me well.
But fundamentally I do not like their stock design. There is inherent flex in every piece of it, and I got very tired of the spontaneous disassembly. I don't like to yuck on what people enjoy too much, but it is not a stock made for precision, to be really drawn into your shoulder, or to get any tension on a 2 point sling with.

Their design intent, echoed by protube (although I don't have the first hand experience there), was to go for the most widely adaptable stock they could, and that's what they made.
Don't tell me you haven't experienced a gun that almost fits your stock setup and just flexed it to fit for a shot.

I prefer my stock, which I got for slightly less than half the cost of the mamut, which has my controllers in line, has the stiffness and durability, and works for 90% as many guns. The only times I have ever been unable to use it are for guns without pistol grips.

[vapid heart]

I just don’t have those issues, the only game where I can’t use some guns is ghosts of tabor. Especially with how my mamut is setup there’s absolutely no flex and it’s incredibly stiff. The only wiggle is where the adjustable buttstock and cheek rest is. Just that little spot because the two screws used.

[icy cobalt]

Just with how the magnets are set up it's pretty much unavoidable that there is flex. You physically cannot draw in with those magnets. Even the video on their own website with Yorick? He admits that. The mounts, at least every single mount I've seen, are on levers and those magnet mounts are not made for tension.
But however folks do that works for them.

[vapid heart]

I seriously have no flex in mine, if there’s flex it’s not noticeable at all.

[icy cobalt]

I'm not here to argue.
But that's not my experience. Nor is that reflected in the material put out by the company itself.
Night.

[drifting terrace]

have they made gunstock calibration better since the initial attempt?

[short bloom]

My third stock is my favorite only thing bad about it .... they don't have it for index

https://www.etsy.com/listing/911983863/3daptive-modus-r-vr-gunstock-quest-2-pro

Rigid adjustable and best of all... no magnets... can pull this sucker hard !

[pure crown]

How did you get the Bawk so cheap?

[stark hornet]

Anyone use the sanlaki stock? Is it worth printing

[remote tiger]

Yes I agree

[winged parcel]

looks overcomplicated lol

[winged parcel]

using a generic gunstock i can't use the sks whatsoever, for me it aims too high with my stock

[kind lichen]

I printed it awhile ago and sadly it was almost useless for me. I think it’s because the metal tubes it uses block the infrared coming off of the controllers
But I just tried out the V.S.T.O.C.K. From thingiverse and it worked much better

[long kite]

Likewise. I have tried calibrating slightly. But I didn't think it might move the calibration on the other guns 🤔

[ember flame]

Anyone else using the tomahawk stock and has major issues since the introduktion of gunstock calibration, the weapon is angeled towards center chest making it really hard to aim

[long kite]

Think it's all stocks

[ember flame]

Ok so its not just me like the rifle but i angeöed towards the center of my chest making the gun barrel point a little to much to the right

[icy cobalt]

At the time I got mine they were 70$ + shipping, while the apto 3 is 190.
Bowk sent me a full replacement and upgrade after my first invert marksman broke (non-catastrophically) after about two years of use.
But if you want it cheap, he makes a DIY kit for 20$ and all you'd need is some delrin rods, a drill, and screws.

[drifting terrace]

have they made gunstock calibration better since the initial attempt?

[royal wagon]

#1112699122189873254

[drifting terrace]

Yeah thanks, just nvm

[icy cobalt]

Not that I've felt, but I haven't had most of the issues folks are talking about. Honestly if I did, I probably would just not use it

[drifting terrace]

that's my issue honestly, I stopped playing because I couldn't get my calibration to stick and my AK just ended up pointing at the ceiling

[icy cobalt]

I've honestly been having trouble getting calibration to "stick" with the compass, the screen effects, and with height. Stocks seem to be doing ok for me though

[faint wigeon]

Yeah the compass and screen effects adjustments not sticking has been an issue since the alpha testing. I remember this specifically because it was the first thing I would fix every time I booted the game.. then one day I just gave up trying and had to learn to live with it lol

[icy cobalt]

I stream (extremely small time) and every time I load into a raid I have to fix it or my viewers get a red line down the middle of their view. It's pretty distracting and bad looking.

[faint wigeon]

Yeah its pretty annoying for sure, I dont stream but I still get frustrated with it.

The crazy hand angles just changing whenever you use your watch (or wrist pad back then), or changing a setting, has seems to have gotten better. Although they still like to randomly shoot up to 90 degs randomly lol

[icy cobalt]

Did you also have the thing where you enabled gunstock calibration, and suddenly when you grab a mag it's as if you cranked your wrist as far left as it would go?

[faint wigeon]

No Ive surprisingly had very little issues with calibration, which seems to make me the outlier because sounds like most people are having a terrible time.

[open bramble]

What’s a pretty cheap stock for quest that’s good?

[bronze linden]

Can some one send me the link for the tomahawk 3 in 1 gunstock please

[pure crown]

has anyone got any reviews for this? (https://www.etsy.com/shop/KioMaestroVR?coupon=GECKOSTOCKDISCOUNT)

specifically the minimal version

[long kite]

Show off 😄 🤣

[short bloom]

If 5 screws is complicated you are in the wrong chat

[winged parcel]

if you using "chat" unironically, you need clinical support

regardless of the 5 screws or lego assembly idc lmao, it's about having a random ass controller grip in the middle, a useless bipod, a weird backstock function

and then also making the controller angle adjustable as well as the stock tube angle adjustable is just need less

[icy cobalt]

Define your budget

[open bramble]

50-80

[icy cobalt]

My recommendation is the bowk stock. If you want it cheap, get a DIY marksman kit, spend 5$ on 18mm or 3/4" delrin rods at your local hardware store, and put it together for ~30 bucks spent.
Someone here will recommend the tomahawk, and so on.

There should probably be a list of manufacturers we can copy paste, this is such a common thing

[tender root]

Anyone have Gun stocks recommendations cuz im trying to convince my parents to buy one for me but I can only find like a 70 dollars one I need a decent one for a fair amount on Amazon or any website

[spare lagoon]

you got a 3d printer?

[tender root]

Sadly no my brother had one but he moved and had to sell it cuz he couldn’t take it home cuz it was his works 3d printer

[spare lagoon]

ah. cheapest way thats still good is probably pvc. i made my original one out of a single tube of i think 2in, combined with two 45 degree T (not called a T, ill attach screenshot) fittings for the controllers to sit in, then three 90 degree fittings to form the stock. for the controller fittings, it kinda depends on what controllers you have. ill draw a quick mockup

[tender root]

Okay thanks I will ask my dad for help and I’m hoping to get him to say yes and cuz he doesn’t know anything abt vr

[spare lagoon]

should as its quite simple. heres a horrible drawing, black is pipe, red is those fitting i screenshotted above, and blue are 90 degree fittings. it would be better to replace the one i marked with green with a T and add another 90 degree fitting to the loose end of the stock (far left) so it conencts back into itself to be stronger and stay in place

[short bloom]

No sure if you have used any stock besides the "istock" but this stock literally has the exact same adjustment as the most popular magnet stocks I.E. protube... magni+ and Mammut... but the plus is this stock is not subject to magnet joint failure from hand to shoulder force...

Your judgemental post clearly illustrates you glanced at the pages still photo made some uneducated guesses and assumptions that would have easily been answered had you clicked the link and watched the product demonstration video

Do I care if you purchase it ... nope ... I do care that you blindly discredit a product without proper research.

[lethal sinew]

I have the Modus R, it's my second favorite of my gunstocks.

[old storm]

what is your first

[lethal sinew]

Freedomstock VR. It does the same stuff, but with no sling or 4th point of contact (i've gotten used to not needing both). It's about the same price.

[old storm]

it looks almost janky in the videos no offense to cheese man, does it feel solid?

[lethal sinew]

Yeah, it's rock solid imo. PETG works great, feels like it wont' break if handled roughly. I'll be editing up a video and putting it out sometime soon on it. I'll ping you when i finish it

[old storm]

i actually may buy a stock rn

[remote tiger]

yea no i can attest petg is quite strong when printed correctly. i talked to cheezy myself and hte way he prints it is spot on

hes got a quality product

[young flare]

What’s a good budget stock between 50-100

[remote tiger]

freedom

[old storm]

it also looks kinda uncomfortable with that almost nonexistent stock

[remote tiger]

tbh you dont really need much
jsut something to be there. if you find yourself really pulling it into your shoulder might not be the best but for typical users i think it would be fine

i sell mine for 32.99 but im taking a break from selling for ab a week to get a new model produced but if you are interested in that hit me up and i can show you the design

[sudden portal]

Yo I use OLENVR stock. The Spine. What headset do you use?

Anyone else calibration way off? I calibrate then when I finally can get my front hand on the gun it changes the entire position….We need to be able to calibrate holding the guns with two hands. I position the gun where I need it and I look at how I’m holding. The stock and it’s pointed straight up toward the ceiling.

[short bloom]

I turned physical stock calibration off for crash testing but they do need to look at left hand rotation at some point.... personally it's a fine game with calibration on the back burner. The crashing issue plagues to many users to not be at the top of the dev list

[sudden portal]

Is gunstock calibration NOT for physical gunstocks?

[winged parcel]

hey man! no need to be so bothered about the opinion of some random guy online. never said it was bad! just said it was overly complicated, i did not make a single assumption that was uneducated, i did not reference anything that i could only reference with in person knowledge, i just noted excess of details on the stock which i don't think is very useful :)

[short bloom]

The problem is ... it's not even complicated.. it's a ultra simple design I even let my landlords 8 year old look at it and he figured out the adjustments without instructions... this tells me you looked at the picture and made an uneducated opinion.

The protube literally has more complications to it's design lol

[vapid heart]

It is they just haven’t implemented it properly, give it time they know about the issues.

[sudden portal]

Thanks dude

[vapid heart]

I actually love the way that looks but not a fan of the no magnets, I might pick one up soon, thanks for showing me

[vapid heart]

Can you send a pic? I’m curious

Oh wait it’s the modus lol

Also my mamut is actually way more complex than that stock and a little kid could figure it out

[short bloom]

Right! That's what I am saying... the design is so simple a cave man could do it....

[stray rapids]

Should I get an istock

[short bloom]

The real question should be ... what end result do I need from the stock ... then look for stocks that fit that.

[icy cobalt]

That's a really good way to put it.

This chat should come up with a matrix of stocks by purpose sometime.

[short bloom]

Stocks come from super simple "istock" to ultra complex "mammut" and much in between... the end result being what does the end user need to achieve with the stock they purchase

Me personally as a IRL gun user .. magnets didn't allow me that natural firm shoulder seat without joint failure so I went with the Magnus R so I could pull hard into my cup... other folks might not have that level of background to a light should feel is all they need... I do not endorse any stock but I do like to make sure the stocks I talk about are well explained and allow the individual to choose thier preferences

Another thing to consider is what headset you use... currently I have a Quest 2 ... but am changing to the index ... Magnus R currently does not support index knuckles .. so I'll have to either communicate with the maker or find a new stock

[icy cobalt]

I've said this ad nauseum, but for a very similar reason to your Magnus I use a bowk invert marksman on my index.

[short bloom]

Could you share a website so I can take a look @icy cobalt

[icy cobalt]

https://www.bowkvr.com/shop/p/invert-marksman
If you give Bowk a ring here on discord odds are good he'll make small alterations for you as well. I got a custom color and a few customer suggestions have been incorporated over time.

Can also attest to the dude's customer service. My first gen stock's connectors started cracking after 2 years of use, and he sent me a brand new stock at no charge.

I'm a big believer in the thing. Grew out of the Onward scene, where Bowk made these for team Mayhem, perennial team 1-3 in the world, and then started selling them elsewhere.

[short bloom]

Nice.. the over the top doesn't effect index the way it can with quest tracking

[icy cobalt]

I've got 3 lighthouses pointed down at 45 degree angles from the corners of the room. 0 issue.

[short bloom]

Nice... I am starting with 2 but hear adding the third one is smooth

[icy cobalt]

I found it necessary for close in work, like pistols from retention or bullpup reloads

[short bloom]

Good information thanks

[trail lichen]

It’s here! 😛 Sanlaki full stock

[jovial wharf]

Does anyone know a Good beginner Gun stock? Price range (70- 100$)

[trail lichen]

What features are you looking for? What headset do you use? How do you want the controllers to attach? How many points of contact do you want (each hand is 1, your shoulder would be a third)?

[jovial wharf]

I play on Quest 2 , Im looking for a begginer VR Stock That You can make the stock longer By a slide. (Like if your using a longer Gun) , And im not very much sure about how much contact I want.

[limber depot]

I just got magnistock

[icy cobalt]

Go look at Bowk, magnistock, tomahawk, mamut, and protube, and figure out exactly what features you want.

Cheek weld? Shoulder stock? Do you want to be able to use a 2 point sling? Do you have firearms experience that color what you want?

Every stock is good at something.

I like bowk, but it seems like everyone here likes their own individual stocks.

[short bloom]

I'll prolly try a Bowk when I go to index

[chilly zenith]

Is it worth is to get a stock, it feels weird pulling the “stock” in game through my shoulders

[old storm]

hmu in like a week and ill let u know

[lilac edge]

ùù

[karmic topaz]

hey I just got a protube and just wondering so do I use the allen key to adjust it to MY comfort then calibrate through game? sorry probs dumb question

[fading star]

Is there calibrating now?!?!!

[karmic topaz]

yes

[remote tiger]

yes but its no good in my personal opinion.

[fading star]

: (

Is it Atleast usable?

[remote tiger]

it has no ability to use front hand its only bassed on back hand.
it fucks up your hand tilt after calabraition so you cant grab anything
no not really

[fading star]

Do they plan to fix it?

[remote tiger]

im sure

[quiet swan]

is it worth buying a stock?

and is there a spacific one? can i get a link to the amazon page?

[untold vine]

If you get some skill you won’t need it

[graceful flint]

Why are you bashing people who would prefer a stock?

Some peoples hands shake and a stock would help solve that issue..

[modest hollow]

Seems like an unnecessary comment

[untold vine]

I’m just joking man

[untold vine]

It’s the truth tho

[graceful flint]

New people with zero hours of vr shooters may find using a gun stock more beneficial

[untold vine]

Yea I might actually get one

My hands are very skaky

[modest hollow]

Aiming with a stock is legitimately better for long range fights, they don't matter much for short range but you have an advantage over distance without a doubt

[graceful flint]

^^^

[untold vine]

Yeah I was just joking I have nothing against stocks

[graceful flint]

I’m thinking either a glistco or a protube

[untold vine]

I heard https://www.olenvr.com/vr-gun-stock-accessories/spine-full-kit-vr-gunstock is a good one

[modest hollow]

Gotta take off the top rail for it to be viable in GoT though

@graceful flint Protube is THE brand to be honest, or Mamut. if you are spending top dollar

[untold vine]

Is that possible?

[modest hollow]

Yeah, the 3D printed top slides off but you can't attach a sling to it then unless the altered the design

[untold vine]

Damn

[graceful flint]

Yea I’ve heard some good stuff on the protube

[modest hollow]

Looks like they changed the design, that's good

[graceful flint]

Looking into mamut now

[untold vine]

Good

[untold vine]

The sling is one of the reasons I’m probably going to get it so good thing they did that

[modest hollow]

Pretty much all stocks use a sling

[rugged path]

Why'd parzalai send me here

[untold vine]

I didn’t know that

[untold vine]

He was showing @sharp hamlet where to go

[modest hollow]

Welcome to premium stocks

I’d pay 189$ for a good quality stock

That’ll get used for tons of hours

[modest hollow]

209 with the DX mounts and Grips and crown

[graceful flint]

Still reasonable

[sharp hamlet]

Always the mfs named Connor 💀

[modest hollow]

Yeah, I'm getting a cheapo one from Amazon tommorow just to try and see if i like Stock life for sure, I have used them but not consistently. If i like it it i'll be returning it and upgrading to the Mamut most likely

Would this product do fine?

[modest hollow]

Magnistocks have a good reputation AFAIK

[quiet swan]

Thanks for the info!

[graceful flint]

The reviews say poorly 3D printed parts and others say it’s great so it’s really mixed reviews. Customer supports is good also based on reviews for replacement parts so for the price I’d say it’s good

I may get that too based on the reviews. Then return and upgrade

[quiet swan]

Cool, I am going to grab one for my Pavlov and GOT sessions I use to have a aim stick with my PSVR an it was Great

[graceful flint]

Or if I really like it just keep it. I’m only an occasional player

[quiet swan]

I want one like the guns but the controllers are in the bottom? Does that effect placement in the headset ?

[graceful flint]

Not sure honestly

[quiet swan]

@modest hollow hey why would he have to take the top slide off the spine Stock?

[modest hollow]

From what i have heard it causes issues with interacting with some of the weapons when trying to add attachments and such. Maybe that can be bypassed with the gun stock cal now though.

Not a fan of the idea of bottom mounted controllers to be honest, The Q2s IR tracking lights are in the controller

Plus I mean, all that excess 3D material does is make you look "cooler" to people watching you lol. You don't ever see it yourself in game

[desert scaffold]

anyone got cheaper but still reliable options for htc vive pro controllers, under 150 preferably

[kindred tartan]

I have this one. 10/10 so far

[remote tiger]

yea if you are wanting to get jsut a good stock and not pay a mint. do yourself a favor and dont even look at the coolness aspect it serves 0 purpose. get you something that is well built and does the job

[limber depot]

@kindred tartan

[kindred tartan]

Sup

[limber depot]

With the magnistock+ i just got one and my right hand is at the front but it still wobbles upside down and makes me shoot downwards

[kindred tartan]

Sounds like an error with putting it together. The hand holds are left or right handed so you choose where you put them. As for the wobbling, I noticed the stock didn’t come with a wrench for some of the tightening so I had to use one of my own wrenches to tighten it enough. Those are the only fixes I know of

[limber depot]

Because no matter where im putting left controller its aiming it down

Even though everything is straight

[kindred tartan]

In GoT?

[limber depot]

Yes

[kindred tartan]

While in your safehouse go to settings, then click on calibrate physical gunstock. You can then adjust it so that it’s facing how you want it. Also make sure that it’s says using physical gunstock is on. It’s normal for it to face downwards at first.

[limber depot]

That's why it didn't work i was in tutorial

[kindred tartan]

Yeah, that confused me at first too

[limber depot]

Thanks

How should I fix it flipping upside down though

[kindred tartan]

Are you responding to my message?

[limber depot]

Do I just tighten it alot

[kindred tartan]

Yes, but don’t over tighten it. It’s possible it will snap/crack.

[limber depot]

K

[remote tiger]

@kindred tartan nah just in general

[kindred tartan]

Aight

[remote tiger]

@kindred tartan I sent I a dm

[coral pecan]

for what stock?

[kindred tartan]

Magnistock+

[coral pecan]

i have istock and it cracked since i tightened it to much ig

if i dont then it offsets

[long kite]

I would defo recommend the kobravr sidewinder. Cheap also.

All I do to calibrate My guns is turn off virtual gun stock. And Evan turn off physical gun stock. Seems to ve pointing pretty much straight now.

[mortal parcel]

I just got my sidewinder

Haven’t use it in ghosts of tabor yet

[graceful flint]

IYO how is the quality?

[kindred tartan]

Very good imo

[graceful flint]

They have the “calibrate gun stock” setting on Q2?

I’m not seeing it

[kindred tartan]

In GoT

[graceful flint]

Yes, whenever I choose I’m using a physical stock, there are no options to calibrate my guns

[kindred tartan]

If you look in settings in the safehouse there is a separate button you have to click

[graceful flint]

I’ll check again in a few but I’m pretty sure I didn’t see it. Is it in the menu or in the setting menu?

[kindred tartan]

Settings menu

[remote tiger]

have they patched the gunstock cal

bc when i played ab a week ago it was no bueno

[kindred tartan]

Not yet. Unfortunately.

[kindred tartan]

It works. It just sucks.

[graceful flint]

@remote tiger check dms

[royal wagon]

does standalone not have the calibrate gunstock option?

[graceful flint]

Not sure, I couldn’t find it but I’m also playing it on my laptop with link cable

then you arent doing standalone

what gun stock would be best for someone on a budget and left handed?

[old storm]

pretty much every stock should have a lefty option or so i assume

what is budget

[thorny temple]

like less than 100 bucks, 150 at most. if im honest idk the prices of what a good stock would cost

[remote tiger]

freedom stock

[old storm]

bro you gotta rep yourself some😭😭

[remote tiger]

i def would but im currently not selling. i got my V2.3.0 coming out in a few days to a week and i wana get that just right before i begin taking some orders @old storm

[thorny temple]

So is the skol vr that sells the tama hawk gun stock legit or what because I am about to buy one

[lethal sinew]

It's a real product, I have one. I'd suggest the Mamut or Protube instead for that kinda money tho.

[quiet maple]

✨

[bronze linden]

Yeah but the problem I have with the mamut is that it looks very confusing to adjust

And I’m looking for more easy adjust ment

The question I do have is, it’s it worth it?

[spare lagoon]

any updates on the calibration system?

[icy cobalt]

I had the mamut. I consider the bowk a huge upgrade. Different strokes and all, but I was not impressed on index

[icy cobalt]

Bowk

[royal wagon]

Check #1112699122189873254 and #📢・announcements for new code releases, that’s the only way a change would happen

[icy cobalt]

Facts

[pseudo summit]

My current stock. .5in pvc with noob toob 3d printed parts. Took a while to get used to and I mostly only use it on island. But it works like a charm now that I'm used to it and I love it

[pseudo summit]

I think my picture was removed or something, not showing up on my phone

[icy cobalt]

Nicely done mate, I do love to see a good home build.
Have you considered a delrin rod or similar instead of the PVC for this application?

[icy cobalt]

I'm thinking it would be chill to put together a brief list of stock manufacturers, price ranges, and what that stock is good at. Other mamut people, tell me if I'm being unfair to the thing.

Would ya'll write something similar to this for the stocks you all have used first hand? If we get a good summary going we can just reference it when someone asks for a stock recommendation for the tenth time that day.

Bowk VR: 70-100$ range, 25-30$ DIY kit. Good for drawing into your shoulder and longer distance shooting. Supports functional use of 1 and 2 point slings. Adjustability range: Physically mirrors AK5C, M4, M16A1, AKM dimensions. Usable for most pistol grip rifles without calibration. 220 grams.
Included accessories: sling.
Stiffness: 9/10, several millimeters of flex in the controller joints.
Ease of use: 4/10, narrow attachment slots and no magnets require practice and are fumble points
Customer support: 8/10, Bowk is a one man band, so occassionally timetables get a little long, but he's been fair in his dealings.

Mamut: 189$, Mix and match DIY pieces from 12-40$ when available. Infinitely adjustable, the latest generation oozes a quality feel with metal parts and carbon fiber. Supports functional use of 1 point slings. Index users, top controller mounts are asymmetrical, requiring canting or rotation of controllers off center line to maintain feel and cheek weld.
Adjustability range: Infinite given enough time. Quick adjust range depends on setup, but roughly 3 inches vertically with common setups.
Included accessories: none
Stiffness: 5/10. Magnetic attach design prevents drawing of stock into the shoulder, sling tension, or similar shooting aids.
Ease of use: 9/10. Once built, the mamut's magnets are powerful and extremely easy to clip into.
Customer support: 10/10, responding quickly and effectively to broken parts or problems.

[nova kraken]

really like this one, I have been using it for a year and a half now.

[long kite]

Ita brilliant. Simple and works brilliant

[solar wasp]

Anyone know any cheaper gun stocks (AUD)?

[solar wasp]

@ me

[winged parcel]

this the protube?

[nova kraken]

Yes

[winged parcel]

am i right in saying the red circles are all adjustment points? in you're personal experience, if you put alot of strength into pushing that back stock into your shoulder, do the adjustments points ever move during that? I tend to put a lot of tension into pulling it into my shoulder

[untold spoke]

Pov: I’m broke 😎

[nova kraken]

first, I added three extra points, two move back and forth and one in the back
(also they turn left to right too)

second: yes and no, they can move if you dont screw them hard, but if you do they dont move

[nova kraken]

wth 💀

[sour fossil]

You are. I pull back fairly hard on it, they never budge. I don't fully tighten the middle joint and it lets me click it up or down mid game to adjust for SKS/AK with sights or Vector etc

[untold spoke]

i’m being so dead ass that’s what i use 💀😭

[sour fossil]

But very stiff, no movement compared to multiple other stocks I've used. I like that I've been able to aim down sights with every gun in Tabor for it with no need for gun calibration

[drifting lake]

Just put some weights on my gunstock, now its the real deal. 🥰

[solar wasp]

You've piqued my interest with the bowk.. I've just ordered a magni stock + because it has mounts for both index and quest... Plus it's readily available. How easy it to take the controllers off to loot, open doors, etc and then put back on?

[icy cobalt]

Mind writing up your feelings on it similar to the post above yours?

[molten fog]

@winged parcel

fits literally every single gun in the game, grips or no grips

[winged parcel]

that's pretty dope, why not flip that back stock upside down so that you can get a cheek weld

[molten fog]

too high, interferes with the headset too. i got a tiny piece of foam with a shit ton of tape at the end right there, hard to see tho

[lofty gorge]

ahhh here we go

ayyyy thats pretty decent

[molten fog]

looks like crap but works wonders

ahhhh right makes sense, very cool tho

costs more than a couple games in the cart but ehh its worth it ye?

[lofty gorge]

They went on sell before the holidays last year that made it almost 100$

[molten fog]

oooh nice

[lofty gorge]

I'd keep an eye out, also I heard in an AMA here that something is in the works to be made that's specific to GoT

Wondering if it's like a special edition GoT stock or something

[molten fog]

oh im def gonna have to buy that as well, its gonna bump their sales a shit ton too - very smart to make a gunstock for it

[lofty gorge]

Right! They are a sponsor of the game so makes sense. And the stuff they make as you see is unlike anything else out there rn

Alot of these guns stock companies are impressive, usually only 1 or 2 people running the whole thing. Thank you to all of yall! Making these games way more immersive

As well as helping us be the best player we can be

[molten fog]

for real

[nova kraken]

well you see, it really depends on: if you want to move your left hand back and forth this is not the thing you want in my opinion

but having a perfect place for it on the rail just lock in it will feel amazing in my expierence

[icy cobalt]

see the form above. looking to make a thing we can just link when people ask for stock recommendatons

gunstock calibration, but cant play in my competetive room rn..... link cable is shot i guess, the area it always gets twisted up behind my head (ive got fpsvr so the cable wind detector) well now if it starts to twist it disconnects...... room is fine, but thats seated, i run an active usb hub out to the standing room and a kiwi tether. lasted 4 months. oh well 20 bucks is 20 bucks.

[spare lagoon]

dont worry, gunstock calibration no workie for most people atm

[wary heron]

but this week alone, controller drift to the point of unplayable on both q2 controllers, pedals on my racing sim setup didnt work, t1600m is getting z axis aka twist drift, cable died.... XD

[spare lagoon]

sounds like a valid excuse to start upgrading some stuff without the misses yelling at ya?

[wary heron]

ordered a replacement cable, cleaned inside my q2 controllers fixing drift, fixed my pedals, the gear wasnt on the pedal for the potentiometer.... 3 down 1 to go, ill fix the flight stick by shaving the potentiometer housing down cause its a common t16000m issue, the housing is too tight and slowly but surely smushes the sensor. can be relieved by shaving the inside down enough that it doesnt crush it when reassembling.

thats for when i get a proper hotas speed controller, so i can play some elite with voiceattack to talk to my ship like cortana. XD

[wary heron]

lol wish i had one, i always end up with hot n crazy, but maybe thats cause im abit mad myself.

[spare lagoon]

aye nice, basically back up and goin already lol

[wary heron]

5th for the cable.

but the one in my room is fine and im not really back into the competetive stuff, having alot of fun with my new build.

got a proximat for that room and its like 3mx5m empty.

thats for tabor and clone wars on contractors

intensive usage when you get into some of the competetive stuff, youll ream on the cable constantly.

[kind lichen]

Looks sick! Is that a legit buttstock?

I’ve been working on this for the past couple weeks

[spare lagoon]

have you considered a pulley system?

[wary heron]

i have one, but the issue is getting it twisted behind your head, i do have a cable unwind under my feet, but in the heat of a fight you kind of burn through cables

[spare lagoon]

yes, made a little milspec buffertube to throw anything on it lol. that looks nice! i assume each bolt point is a pivot point you can adjust?

[wary heron]

twisting it up too much will eventually wear on the shielding inside causing interference when it twists, or the connectors inside actually touch.

cables*

usb with high bandwidth is extremely sensitive to any cable damage.

official cable sounds nice, but being fiberoptic, its basically fiberglass and can easily be destroyed, and at 80 bucks thats probably not a good idea, rather go 20 bucks a pop when one busts.

[spare lagoon]

yea no, one little kink and bye bye $80 lol

[wary heron]

idk if its possible to design a cable that wont break, since oculus needs perfection to maintain link. spinning on your heel taking down full teams of enemies and ducking and weaving and fighting noobs in contractors will destroy your cable XD

basically like cod, but physical.

i mean, look at what cod does to xbox controllers

[kind lichen]

Might as well add a red dot too since it have the rails for it haha
And for the most part yah, there’s a trade off between rigidity, weight, and bulkyness when it comes to this kind of design with adjustability so I’m trying to find the right balance

[wary heron]

might check if fpsvr has an option to make an alert sound when ive twisted it in one direction say over 6 times to avoid this issue

ringing your cable out like a towel is probably the worst strain for the many wires inside

[spare lagoon]

lol if the reverb tracking didnt suck then i could throw some stuff on there. yea. can always go a bit thicker if you have much flex. depending on your printer it might be worth tinkering with easy nylon from overture (decent success with it). that stuff is super rigid

[wary heron]

i just want gunstock calibration, and a working cable rn XD.... ive avoided getting into the game until calibration was ready, dont wanna burn out before i can play comfortably

the magtube isnt exactly an on the fly adjustable stock

[spare lagoon]

same. cant even use half the rifles since i cant aim at all with them due to stock. calibration got announced, super exicted then super sad realizing it didnt work lol. hopefully thats a priority

[wary heron]

i mean, a whole chat based on it, sponsorships, really should be.

forcetube support, but no calibration to support the forcetube

whats better, having all your guns work when you pick them up, or even if you have a quick adjust stock, having to adjust mid fight when you pickup a new weapon cause you ran out of ammo

[kind lichen]

I’ll check it out! I’m using Duramic PLA+ which I’ve been loving

[spare lagoon]

that stuffs pretty cheap, i need new spools so i might get one or two!

[kind lichen]

I would highly recommend! It doesn’t have quite that same cheap plasticky feel that regular PLA does

[solar wasp]

Anyone know some cheper gunstocks?

[kind lichen]

Define cheap?

[solar wasp]

Like 0-40

[kind lichen]

Yahhh that might be kind of tough, I’d try searching on Etsy for that price range. The cheapest good quality one that I know of is the freedom stock but that’s like $75 I think

[solar wasp]

oh alright thanks

[wary heron]

magtubes the way to go, if you get into intense fights, youll quickly realize just how fragile a gunstock can be, even the solid parts.

you tend to hold it to your shoulder pretty tight and slap the controllers back onto the magnetic mounts pretty agressively.

you WILL break some of those cheaper gunstocks quite easily in the heat of the moment

had to replace a magtube cup because i chipped the part that mounts to the stock before, and those things are hard as rock.

got a free replacement, they have a pretty solid warranty

5 days from ticket to my door

[solar wasp]

yeah okay

[wary heron]

any gunstock you get, get a 2 point sling from say, walmart. absolute nessescity

also better quality than any addon sling you can get for w/e stock it is

[solar wasp]

I live in Australia no walmart

[wary heron]

any place that sells sporting goods

[solar wasp]

Yeah alright

[wary heron]

or online like amazon

[solar wasp]

Yeah thanks for your help

[wary heron]

i adapted a real gun sling with alligator clips

[kind lichen]

A strap from a duffel bag can work too

[wary heron]

that too, or laptop bag

i personally like the stretchy padding over the shoulder, doesnt ream into your neck and give you rope burn

raising and lowering the stock starts to hurt when i used a laptop bag strap

dont trust that 1 point "sling" nonsense, it just makes it oversized bling thats more than likely to give you a good kick in the balls when you drop it XD

[pure crown]

how much for one?

[icy cobalt]

It's a high density plastic, your average ace or home depot should have some for real cheap

[unique rose]

Is the Istock a good stock?

[sand sable]

is anyone else not able to grab anything after calibrating their gunstock?

[old storm]

gunstock calib broken rn

[faint wigeon]

That is a weird bug that happens to me all the time. All you have to do is after calibrating load into the market, then go back to your bunker and you should be able to grab stuff again

[kind lichen]

This is still a prototype atm, but I’m hoping to have a finished version within a month or 2. If you’re desperate for a stock right a way then DM me and we can work something out

[summer echo]

My KobraVR DMR wolverine just came today, Now its time to get serious 😂

[unique rose]

Yeah had to reopen GoT

[iron loom]

I've used a piece of mule tape as a sling before switching to no sling at all

[iron loom]

You can go to market and back to fix this

[velvet tundra]

anyone know the bind for menu on quest 2, been a while

im launching through steamvr so the menu button on the left controller just opens the steamvr menu

[faint wigeon]

Click and hold down left stick

[velvet tundra]

ilysm man imma give it a shot

[vernal zinc]

Is this just me or should they add a Glock 34

[novel lotus]

I need help. My gunstock is way off. I really can't use any guns. They all point up. Evan after trying to calibrate

[remote tiger]

are you using gunstock calibration if so don't. clear all calibrations and play without it i dont find it to be helpful. its too early in development
thats just my prefrence

[novel lotus]

I play without it and it's worse haha they all just point up

[novel lotus]

Thank you. I clear them and they all point up a little. Maybe I need to reset all my settings and see again.

[remote tiger]

If you are not playing stand-alone go into settings and change hand tilt

[open bramble]

What a good and affordable magnetic stock for quest 2?

[surreal quarry]

@faint wigeon has one it’s magnetic but a different style

Also you got the magnistock(which is on sale right now)

[minor lintel]

anyone know a good 3d printable stock for quest controllers

[remote tiger]

@open bramble @minor lintel I sell mine for 32.99 hit me up for info mine are not magnetic however

[spare lagoon]

that makes it even better

[remote tiger]

Are u saying better with or without magnets

[minor lintel]

well sadly i dont have 30 bucks rn so i cant buy anyone so that is why i am asking for a 3d model to try it for the first time

[remote tiger]

@minor lintel oh my apologies I misread your message

[minor lintel]

nah its aight

[spare lagoon]

thingiverse?

[minor lintel]

ill check

[spare lagoon]

without. with magnets if your a casual hehe

[minor lintel]

but i asked here in case anyone knew one that like works well

[remote tiger]

If u have your own 3d printer hit up thingiverse

[minor lintel]

k

does this look good

[remote tiger]

I would be cautions with bottom mounted ones. They can interfere with tracking

[minor lintel]

kk

[spare lagoon]

if you have the ability, literally something as simple as this but add a pivot to the middle so you can adjust for different firearms in game until the calibration system works. this can be as simple as a hole with a bolt and nut in the middle where the sling point is
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4651978

[minor lintel]

ill print that when my printer is set up

[remote tiger]

I have used the controller mounts from that and they work great

[minor lintel]

ty for the help

[spare lagoon]

yep. since mines picatinny just download controller holders, cut the bottom off, then run a boolean to the picatinny mount and you now have a new controller holder XD

[minor lintel]

though i want to ask how you loot when you have a gun stock attached

[spare lagoon]

you just pull the controllers out (this is where you want a sling)

[minor lintel]

kk

[spare lagoon]

for reference i can drop both controllers out of the stock very quickly, maybe a half second to do something else or switch to handgun, then to put the controllers back in that takes about 2 seconds

[unique eagle]

Need cheap gunstock any ideas?

[strong elbow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8mRzASSs48 @maiden bobcat

[maiden bobcat]

lmao what

[strong elbow]

best gunstock on the market. waiting for that haptic feedback model

[lethal sinew]

rofl, i've seen that stock. Looks funny af

[jovial cypress]

So best gunstock I can get for this game. Throw out the recommendations, price isn’t an issue but I don’t want a solid gold one haha

[sullen hearth]

what the heck is that stock

[royal wagon]

Magtube

[faint wigeon]

I may be alittle biased lol, but FreedomStock hands down, especially for Tabor where mobility and speed is key.

Im currently sold out at the moment, but use the "out of stock form" on my page to get notified when its back in stock!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctZTfK58t3c&

[old storm]

got the last one sorry

[faint wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/head-nod-yes-oh-gif-23727667

[jovial cypress]

I’ve looked at the freedom stock and it looks like a good product I don’t see anything wrong with it. I just want something more heavy duty because I am pretty rough with my stocks and stuff so was looking for something metal or carbon fiber

I’m torn between the manmut or the mag tube but I also wanted too see what everyone else thought

And aswell your out of stock haha, I needed something now

I’ve been running stockless and it’s been dreadful

[faint wigeon]

Oh understandable! Lol.

If you want "heavy duty" and "metal", then you really can't go wrong with the Mamut Apto, but with it comes a heavy price tag.

https://www.mamutvr.com/products/apto-wasp-base-add-controller-option

[remote tiger]

yea i have seen that one that one looks pretty high quality

i havent really heard anything wrong/bad with it

[jovial cypress]

Yeah I’ve really Been thinking about that one, but I’m also worried about fatigue and such because of how heavy duty it actual is you know

[remote tiger]

yea u gotta find ur sweet spot

[jovial cypress]

And I play like for extremely long sessions

So might just have too get that and another one too swap Mabye, when I need some rest

[faint wigeon]

Yeah I'm not sure the weight but I can see that definitely being something to worry about for long sessions.

There are other users here who own that Apto stock, maby they can chime in and give some feedback on the weight

[jovial cypress]

You heard any bad or good things about these Kobras?

I’ve seen some videos recommend them but I would rather here from real people than a YouTuber you know

[remote tiger]

the controler is ziptied to it not really the best idea also price is high. you dont need the looks the looks do nothing
ofc i havent used it im just lookin at it

[jovial cypress]

Yeah i saw that so wasn’t sure, I saw a video talk about newer models no longer having the zip tie but havent seen any actual photos on it or of that product just in Video

[remote tiger]

hmmmm

[jovial cypress]

And I don’t mind spending the 210 bucks it would cost for the mamut since it’s so high quality but you know if I buy it and a week in my joints and arms are always sore from the weight it would feel kinda rough

Cause then I would just have too end up buying a whole other one

[remote tiger]

i think u would get used to it

[jovial cypress]

Yeah I feel so too, it’s just the worry of how long until then you know. I’ll probably wait too here from other people who have it before I pull the trigger on that one

and just keep browsing for now or until im super set

Is the consensus too that just bottom mounted stocks are just better, i know there’s some tracking issues with the quest 2 but not with quest pros so

and quest 3 will also hopefully fix that with no more ring

[remote tiger]

i personally beleive the bottom mounted are worse

depending on how they are made they can interfere with tracking

[jovial cypress]

Wait yeah I worded that wrong I ment like the mount is on the bottom, so like all the ones we were looking at

[remote tiger]

oh yes i agree with you on that

[jovial cypress]

I just know that the quest pro controllers have no problems with tracking on the ones that are known too have tracking I just wasn’t sure if that was the only issue with them, besides preference

[novel lotus]

I'm playing stand alone

[kind lichen]

I haven’t used one but I feel like the big downside is those kinds of stocks is they aren’t as practical for GoT where you gotta have your hands free to loot and such while also pulling up your gun quickly, the idea of having a sling with an empty stock hanging from it while your looting or climbing ladders seems kind of clunky to me. Correct me if I’m wrong

[modest hollow]

Okay somebody assist my dumbass, is the physical gunstock cal just wonky right now?

[royal wagon]

its problematic yes

sometimes you cant grab your gun afterwards, and sometimes it doesnt update the angle until you change scenes

[novel lotus]

I'm sure they will fix it soon as.

Alot of people are moaning about it.... my self included

So hopefully they listen and sort it ASAP:)

[modest hollow]

Okay cool, glad im not just an idiot lol

[novel lotus]

I feel the same haha think it's putting alot of people off. I find I calibrate it good. Then when I add attachments it's chucked out of alignment

[pale lily]

I am looking for a cheap but durabel gunstok for my quest 2 any advise/recomandations ?

[raw elbow]

does anyone else find it impossible to calibrate the stock on quest 2? i set it correctly, then pick up the same gun outside of calibration and its comepletly out#

[novel lotus]

There is about a 100 post of people saying the same thing. No fix yet. We just have to wait. Sure they maybe fix it on the next wipe

[icy cobalt]

Check user reviews. Pick one that focuses on what you want to do best

[solar wasp]

Just like how clunky it would be in real life?

[lyric comet]

any good cheap gun stocks on amazon?

under 100$

[jovial cypress]

Yeah I have been thinking about that just the ease of getting it back on and everything after having both hands off of it. So I’ve been thinking about the Kobra Sidewinder, since it folds on the go easily if I wanna use it like a pistol or such and it doesn’t zip tie in like the other models but my right hand is still attached too the stock, and can even slide the mounted hand super easily depending on the gun I’m using

[placid oar]

anyone knows of a gunstock for valve index i keep seeing only for quest

[jovial cypress]

A lot of them have index options, any specific one you were interested in or price point?

[placid oar]

well its not for the quest headset its for the valve index ... and price would be around 100 cad

[jovial cypress]

One second just throwing around a couple options here

[jovial cypress]

The 100 cad does make it a little difficult since the currency exchange doesn’t favor you, but here’s 3 I could find quickly. I’ll try too find some more

[jovial cypress]

https://www.olenvr.com/vr-gun-stock-accessories/lopro-vr-gun-stock-for-valve-index https://www.olenvr.com/vr-gun-stock-accessories/spine-full-kit-vr-gunstock https://www.glistco.com/products/magni-stock-carbon-fiber?variant=32373204287539

Actually remove that spine one the second one, issues with the top part blocking scopes and chambering and such

But you can have top or bottom mounted because index doesn’t have the tracking issues quest 2 has so it’s all preference

[placid oar]

thank you so much 🙂

i chose the magni stock+ cant wait to try it out 🙂

[kind lichen]

Solid point haha, but you’re effectively blindfolded when playing vr so I could see banging the free hanging stock around being an issue

[jovial cypress]

I do have an entire room in my house dedicated too vr so Mabye in this case it would as much of a problem with all the room

Just only have too worry about my kneecaps and shins haha

[solar wasp]

I'm getting a magni because it is what most other stocks are not right now- available within a week

[jovial cypress]

Yeah I just bought the mamut but obv not for everyone at the 210 price point. But only take a week - week 1/2 because of shipping

[eternal crown]

heads up to people that saw this, if you get a SpineVR you have to take the top off to not have tracking issues and so you can adjust scopes & taking the top off removes the ability to use a sling.

[jovial cypress]

Yeah I only mentioned it too him because he has index, not quest 2. Index has none of the tracking issues but I mentioned having the top mess with it

[novel lotus]

@raw elbow it's brilliant

[jagged girder]

any budget gun stocks or half stocks? all the ones I see add up to $100+ with shipping

[remote tiger]

@jagged girder i sell mine for 32.99 send me a dm if interested

[jagged girder]

do you do international shipping?

[remote tiger]

i do but its a bit more expensive than us

[jagged girder]

that's pretty understandable

[remote tiger]

if you are at all interested send me a dm and we can discuss

[viral raptor]

i printed that one. No problem with tracking at all

[minor lintel]

kk

[hybrid urchin]

I got my onyx spine for around 90$ plus shipping

[icy cobalt]

If you want, I can take a couple pictures of how wrong you are. 😛
2 point slings stay completely out of the way. And if you want ultimate hands free, there is always 3 point

[shell compass]

whats the best gunstock to buy

[icy cobalt]

DIY kit from bowk is 30$

[icy cobalt]

Check user reviews. They're all good for something.
Of course we all think ours is the best because we have it, are used to it, and match how we play.

[shell compass]

ahh okay gotcha

[novel lotus]

I've figured out how to calibrate....... don't haha use the kobra sidewinder and leave the sliding adjusted loose and just freely move to fit the gun your using

[icy cobalt]

@lethal sinew would it be helpful to you and the folks here if I threw together the world's quickest illustrated guide to slings?

[lethal sinew]

Send it bro

[mystic sandal]

Anyone got any good 3d printable gun stocks for quest 2?

[jovial cypress]

I can use this while my mamut ships haha

[hexed spear]

toxic_smoke1

[edgy fiber]

Dose this game actually work well with gunstock I got one for onward but it feels unnatural

[jovial cypress]

Think all games in general, it’s always gonna feel unnatural until you get used too it. Like most things you do for the first time, especially since your brain is already used too freehanding it

[red harbor]

Who was selling gunstocks for 25$?

[icy cobalt]

What stock did you get, and what system are you on? Index, quest, etc

[brave sable]

I wanna guñ stock

[kind lichen]

Actually please do I’m curious!

[hot abyss]

I got this really cool idea for a stock I got a broken cloths hanger to make it I’m currently making it

Mk1

[short valley]

Vacuum and get back with me with MK2

[hot abyss]

🫡 right away

[modest hollow]

Ya know... I applaud the ingenuity

[graceful flint]

Genius work of art 🫡

[jovial cypress]

Ingenuity at its finest

Temp solution while i wait for the mamut to ship

[hexed spear]

W

[jovial cypress]

“We have Mamut at home” hahahha

[sturdy plover]

Is the spine good

I haven’t heard many great things about the company but there aren’t many reviews on YouTube

[jovial cypress]

What controllers do you have?

[sturdy plover]

Quest 2

[jovial cypress]

It would be bad then, tracking issues with the controllers because the spine top part blocks the infrared lights for the sensors. And you can’t put on some scope and red dots that are closer too the middle of the rifle

[faint wigeon]

From what ive heard most quest 2 players have to strip the Spine down to just just the metal pole due to tracking issues.

Which in my opinion, really kind of defeats the whole purpose of that stock is you have to take half the stock off lol

[jovial cypress]

Yeah and you can’t use the sling once you take that part off too

[sturdy plover]

You could drill a hole in it

[jovial cypress]

https://www.olenvr.com/vr-gun-stock-accessories/lopro-vr-gun-stock-for-quest-2

[faint wigeon]

Hah imagine having to drill holes and deconstruct a stock just to use it.

[sturdy plover]

At gas station what should I buy

[faint wigeon]

Redbull - Juneberry flavor

[jovial cypress]

Best off trying this but still all top mount ones even when it’s just a bar have some problems

Because the way the tracking works, the bar blocks some of the lights sometimes

[faint wigeon]

Also, without using it just going off the photos, that shoulder stock looks super close to that controller, like the back of your shooting hand (back of thumb area) wont have much room for comfort.

[jovial cypress]

They move, that’s just how it’s marketed

[faint wigeon]

Ahh okay that makes more sense then

[jovial cypress]

Yeah they both have magnets that can go anywhere on that bar

Just buy pro controllers haha, 0 tracking problems

[faint wigeon]

Gotchya

[jovial cypress]

The low price of 299.99

[faint wigeon]

Haha yeaaa. Im looking forward to the Quest 3 and their use of the pro controllers.

[jovial cypress]

Yeah will have too see what they do there

Cause the controllers that come with the quest 3 are gonna have the same issues the quest 2 has just not as much

[faint wigeon]

What do you mean?

[jovial cypress]

The quest 3 isn’t launching with pro controllers

[faint wigeon]

What are they launching with Q2 controllers?

[jovial cypress]

It’s just a redesigned controller but still uses infared lights

[faint wigeon]

Ahh gotchya, yah but the elimination of the controller ring means no more ring based stocks for Q3 controllers which = no more tracking issues due to ring based stocks blocking the tracking.

[faint wigeon]

All the stocks for Q3 will have to be cup based.

[jovial cypress]

Well it will still have issues, because the way it works is so the ring we have on the quest 2 has the lights in it

But they just got rid of the ring and put the lights around the top part of the controller

So same system just no ring, so if you have a top mount that still blocks part of the top of it, tracking issues

Yeah it’s gonna be interesting how they do top mounted q3

only reason I got the pro controllers is cause they are the best you can get but the actual q3 headset is better for gaming than the qpro

[faint wigeon]

They wont be able to do top mounted Q3 gunstocks. All the top mounted gunstocks out right now will need to totally redesign to a cup design.

That said, if they did do some kind of cup to top mounth design (if thats even feasable), my guess is those Q3 stocks will be much more expensive due to the extra time and materials to make that design.

[jovial cypress]

Yeah I feel like they just won’t even bother, since meta already said they will be selling the Q2 and still supporting it for years too come alone with the Q3 and Qpro

[faint wigeon]

Apparently hand tracking and controller tracking are going to simultaneous and then AI will take that data and track the Q3 controllers in 3D space.

[jovial cypress]

It will just be there super entry level headset at around 2-300 probably

[faint wigeon]

Once Q3 comes out and then Q2 drops in price, VR markets going to see another nice big bump in user base. Plus Meta just released their Meta+ subscription, which is actually super nice for new users who dont have any games or dont know where to start.

[jovial cypress]

yeah meta really is trying too take up the market and space, I mean obviously index will get its index 2 but still that’s gonna be a grand or more so most people can’t fork that out. So the 2-300 and 500 options are their best bet

[exotic condor]

Anyone know a really good cheap gunstock

[remote tiger]

@exotic condor i sell mine for 32.99 send me a dm if interesetd

[sturdy plover]

Anybody know what gunstocks work with the extended kiwi grips

[jovial cypress]

Any top side mount should work with them since it slides into the ring

[sturdy plover]

I was thinking bout making my own stock out of pvc pipes

And make it like the Kobra cqb

Where it kinda just presses the grip button for you

[still crater]

i will probably do the same when my bowk cups get obliterated someday

[kindred tartan]

You think it will be compatible with quest 2 gunstocks? Or will they change the size

[remote tiger]

yes i do beleive it will be compatable

[faint wigeon]

The grips on the Q2 controllers are different than the grips on the Q3 controllers, so you're very likely not going to be able to simply slide a Q3 controller into a Q2 gunstock cup.

[remote tiger]

they are? how so

they look identical

[kindred tartan]

Dang

[faint wigeon]

The shape of the Q3 controller looks slightly different than the Q2 controller. I could be wrong, but from the production photos it looks like the Q3 controllers are slightly thinner and alittle less curved.

You know, maby its just the lack of rings that throwing my perception off. I have a buddy who just picked up a Quest Pro and has a Q2, im going to ask him to compare the two and let me know

Okay he says holding both controllers they look/feel pretty identical, minus the top/ring portion. So it does sound like I may have been wrong.

https://tenor.com/view/fannar-halldór-sorry-my-mistake-ísland-got-talent-gif-12770676

[remote tiger]

from a buisness perspective it would be non sensical to re design re mold and re produce a already working controler you know in the terms of shape

[faint wigeon]

This is true, however any gunstocks that rely on the ring of the controller to connect, will need to be redesigned if they plan to offer a Q3 version (obviously lol), which does suck.

My gunstock does rely on the ring partially, however ive already got some ideas on how to make it work without the ring.

[remote tiger]

gotcha

[jovial cypress]

The quest 3 controllers are gonna be slimmer and smaller by a little

[icy cobalt]

Misread you a little bit, but have some 2 point.

[sturdy plover]

I hope they will be less than the pro controllers

[icy cobalt]

Stays entirely out of the way with any reasonable moves, and if I'm going pistol only I just throw it around back

[jovial cypress]

What about the pro controllers do you not like?

[sturdy plover]

The price

[jovial cypress]

Well they come with the quest 3 and won’t be sold separately

[jovial cypress]

And the price for the pro controllers is pretty good tbh for what they are

[sturdy plover]

What about replacements

[jovial cypress]

They have said that the tracking system is different so it won’t be like backwards compatible either because of the way the camera work and need too to too use them

With the different tracking

The lead guy did a big AMA about it answering a ton of questions

[tiny ember]

just played a few raids with the glistco magnistock+ definetly a solid gunstock for the price my only complaint is the sling sometimes my gun goes upside down while im fighting and i'm tryna attach my controllers to air lmfao but still definetly recommend 8.5/10

[spare lagoon]

2 point slings ftw hehe

[short bloom]

I liked mine for the first 2 weeks till the constant tightening made the clamp around the tube cracked... now it's superglued removing the adjustable nature of the stock... so

I swapped to the 3daptive Modus R... better in all ways

[tiny ember]

constant tightening? i've only tightened mine once

and its still as tight as when i did tighten it

oh and i got mine for 40 bucks on sale so if it does break i dont mind

[short bloom]

Oh I'm giving mine away on stream when I upgrade my headset ... going to raffle it and my Q2 off to a viewer

[tiny ember]

ight oh and ofcourse theres a difference if you play multiple games i only really play ghosts of tabor so i dont really have to change my stock

[short bloom]

I use multiple gun types so was adjusting alot... pre stock calibration

[spare venture]

The gunstock calibration is horrible I have a pro tube stock and it doesn’t work it just us always off

[short bloom]

Calibration works great for me...

[long kite]

Yes it you take abit of time with the calibration I find it OK to use also

[inland plover]

This took me over a week, but I am a lengthy man with long arms. Both handles are magnetic.

[spare venture]

I need help with my gun stock working

I use a ProTube and it really doesn’t work

[proven tendon]

I'm interested in getting one and I found one on Amazon for like 80 bucks. Is it worth it?

I think it's a Magtube.

[kind lichen]

Oh that makes sense, and I’m sure you get used to throwing it back and forth pretty quickly. I imagined it attaching to one point of the stock instead of the front and back

[royal wagon]

what do you mean it doesnt work?

[proven tendon]

Where did you get this?

[spare venture]

When I calibrate the stock it is always off, when I see other use the calibration and ProTube it works fine. I’ve spent hours try to get it to work but it never does.

[royal wagon]

thats incredibly unspecific

heres my setup
https://clips.twitch.tv/PricklyTubularBarracudaPicoMause-vxFUP585vkUbiZyi

straight for rifles, front tube up about 2 notches for more narrow geometry weapons like SKS/vector

but thats only for index, you'll need to adjust it appropriately

[icy cobalt]

Mine... I move the cheek rest up or down. Fin.

[royal wagon]

it will probably get you close with other controllers, just gotta adjust it until it works reliably, you can use the gunstock calibration get more guns straight but its a bit rough

whos got time to adjust a cheek rest during the match

[icy cobalt]

The stock or the sling?

@royal wagon Who's hot time to adjust their stock's entire geometry per rifle class?

Cheek rest is a thumb screw with set stop positions.
I've adjusted on the fly quite a few times for acquired weapons and optics.

Cheek and shoulder are a unified piece.

[proven tendon]

The stock'

[icy cobalt]

Bowk invert marksman.
Best stock I've ever had. Better than the mamut apto (for the index) by FAR.

[proven tendon]

I'm guessing you have an Index too.

[icy cobalt]

Yeah. I hear that inverted styles in general have trouble with the oculus system.

[proven tendon]

ah ok. I'm looking to get one to make aiming down sights a little easier.

[icy cobalt]

Any competent stock should do that for you.
You on index?

[proven tendon]

Yes I am.

I'm just wanting to know what works best.

[icy cobalt]

Then I would highly, highly recommend it.
Every design is made to do something well.
This one is designed for rigidity, the ability to pull it into your shoulder, and a consistent cheek weld.

Thank you.

[jovial cypress]

If your on the quest I would not recommend anything top mounted, you will have tracking issues.

[royal wagon]

You just pull up and rotate off the center piece two notches, it’s indexed so it hits the same identical point every time, takes less than half a second

[slender jacinth]

What is it?

Oh wait nvm im dumb

[inland plover]

No, dont ever say that.. You just need to click and zoom in and you will see everything.

[slender jacinth]

No I looked at it and didnt realise what it was then I realised

[inland plover]

I kinda took a bit from every single one I looked at and made my own.. Cost just the same to make your own if you do it like I did.. So around 70$..

[slender jacinth]

Alr

[prisma bolt]

i need a cheap one

[formal sedge]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, im getting the game after my vr gets here. will a gunstock make you more efficient at the game??

[tidal nimbus]

Probably depends on the player and play style

My play style doesn’t benefit from one because of how snappy it is. For me it gets in the way

[acoustic kernel]

It helps a lot in long distance shooting because it’s so stable

But if you play more fast you might want a half stock

Look up i stock they have some good ones

[gloomy dock]

My Kobra DMR with a shotgun pump attachment. It’s SOOOOO satisfying to use (not so much in Tabor because the 590 never effing works, and lack of reload options) in Pavlov and Contractors

[tiny ember]

for me it changed the amount of kills i got drastically but i play very tactically i check every corner walk slowly that kinda stuff so if you like running and gunning more you probably dont want a stock

[short bloom]

I really wanted to try this one but with me moving to index it was a no go

[proven tendon]

Ngl I would rather be sneaky and tactical and the extra stability would help.

[mossy dune]

Does anyone wanna play silo

[gloomy dock]

[halcyon totem]

Any good starter stock recommendations?

[remote tiger]

@halcyon totem ima send you a dm with some info

[halcyon totem]

Alr thank you

[eager leaf]

Question: on a 1-10 scale, how “worth it” is a gunstock? For reference, I medium to medium little consistently play games like Tabor (VR Shooters)

I mean I’ve been noticing myself playing more and more often and think a gunstock would be pretty cool

Also how do you reload

[spare lagoon]

if i cant use my gunstock in a game then i dont play the game. if you want immersion, you really need a gunstock, moreso if your a gun guy. for reference i havent played GOT because i cannot adjust my gunstock to suite the various firearms in teh game (cant aim at all with them) so i havent played it. once the calibration gets resolved then heck yes im playing every other night. you reload like you normally do, just take the left controller out of its holder or magnet (depending on stock design) and release the magazine, grab a new one and thrower in there

[remote tiger]

@eager leaf

[icy cobalt]

So here's the deal.
Allot of people think you can get good without one. You can certainly get better.
But you'll always be better at a certain level of investment with a stock, and every single top player in competitive games like Onward, breachers, etc? Stock.

[remote tiger]

i def dont think its required but it def is like a whole notch up from without

[icy cobalt]

See above. As for reloading, drop by my stream sometime and see.
It's not a hassle in the slightest

[icy cobalt]

Look at user reviews

[edgy geyser]

The lanyard is around my neck and I have the controller attached to the end using the wrist strap

[thin thorn]

ohh that makes sense, i unfortunately do not have a working strap though because both of them broke so i just use knuckle grips lol

[edgy geyser]

Rip

[thin thorn]

somehow after buying knuckle grips my aim got better lol

[edgy geyser]

I'm using the lanyard my school gave me to put my ID on

[thin thorn]

probably because i don’t have to grip as hard so there’s no shaking

[edgy geyser]

I naturally shake so the lanyard is helping A LOT my entire dad's side has a shaky hand problem. It's worse on VR

I'm eventually getting an actual stock but I'm using that for now

[icy cobalt]

If you want that idea, but MORE, get a stick between your controllers and use a 3 point sling.

[edgy geyser]

Explain?

[pure crown]

Looking for vr stock cheep and sturdy mostly for ghost of tabor I’m on quest not top mounted

[edgy geyser]

I've got my eye on one that's $75 that's an actual stock and another that's $50 that's like a string for the barrel and an actual stock for your right controller

$75

$50

[pure crown]

And if I shoot with my rigt hand what would you recommend?

[edgy geyser]

Like you're left handed?

@pure crown

[pure crown]

I shoot with right hold with left

[edgy geyser]

That's both of those

[pure crown]

K thank you

[edgy geyser]

Np

There is an issue with the $75 if you get the sling where you can't put attachments on the top of your gun you have to take it off to do so just a warning @pure crown

[icy cobalt]

Bowk, or see user reviews
