Will Oculus make a Riffle for the Touch controllers or just a Rifle?

I mentioned in another thread about some people using things they have made to play games. Where you place the controllers in a bunch of pipes that resembles a riffle. Some have even made designs for these riffles using a 3D printers. I just wondered if Oculus was looking to make something like this?

It's totally unnecessary. When in vr u can't see the gun and when in vr guns , bows, and other weapons feel like the real thing especially when u see the weapon in vr.


Uh, no. It's pretty much impossible to accurately use a rifle two-handed in VR in a game that actually lets you control where it's pointing with your hands. I usually end up just holding it like a pistol and firing one-handed.

That's why we need something that physically resembles a rifle to control it with.

This is completely untrue. I'm not sure what game you're playing that gives you this idea (there are plenty that have implemented it incorrectly). I suggest trying Onward.

Well you're all doing things the hard way, you crazy fools. To do things PROPERLY you all need to get rid of your Rift's, spend $800/£800 on a Vive, spend another $198/£198 on 2 Tracking Pucks, buy some duct tape and a REAL GUN.

Tape the Tracking Pucks and Vive controllers to your gun. Job done. This way your in-game gun will feel like a real one and greatly increase your presence when playing VR shooters.

Forget about these plumbing parts from DIY stores, if you're going to do something then do it PROPERLY.


You forgot 100 for the deluxe audio strap too
This is my forum signature.
There are many others like it, but this is mine.

I didn't forget it, I just didn't add it because there's no need for it to get a realistic gun solution.  😄

I'm sure there are plenty of players that get along just fine without a mock rifle that don't need to go one handed like you do.

Never played it, but as I understand it, Onward doesn't let you control the rifle with your hands like a real one.

In H3VR, for example, you hold the rifle with your hands and move it around like a real one. Except you can't hold it against your shoulder and there's nothing to keep your hands in the right position relative to the size of the rifle.

It's the best solution avaliable cause you have a rifle, and you can easy use your hand to do everything you need (reload, grenade.....)

I legit read your link as "www.porntubevr.com" .. and the analogies about using your hand to do everything you need, including reload and grenade, made me think you were the coolest spam bot in town.

I don't know what you mean by that. Onward does allow you to use the rifle with motion controllers with fore-grip holding/aiming. It's pretty good, though I have not played H3VR to compare it to.
