After some initial work on a house project I decided to prototype a battleaxe.

And a few tests in Onward. Don't judge my getting my butt kicked by AI. The recoil hack works well with onward.<br />
<br />
EDIT: Note do not use LiIon batteries. The stock kicks too hard and after 10k rounds or so compacts the foil in the batteries. Use a tethered 12V supply parallel to the airline or NiCd NiMH or other batteries proven to take a beating with radio controlled vehicles. (dont use LiPos without great dampening)</div>

<br />
Now for those considering a compressor...<br />
I thought a bit should be devoted to air sources focusing on the<br />
-compressor<br />
-impedance of the air line<br />
-and on board reservoir<br />
<br />
COMPRESSORS:================ <br />
<br />
The next consideration, or one of your first perhaps, is the air supply. If you have a compressor in your garage, great. but some may not have one or are looking for a replacement, or just don't want to hear that loud thing running in the wee hours of the night. There are many options but one many may not be aware of are the "silent" oil-less compressors.<br />
<br />
I originally bought a Eurotec 10A with a <40dB sound level. Awesome for airbrushing but, it needed a tank. So I ripped apart a coleman camping compressor took its motor out and kept the valves, couplings, and <1gallon tank. Strap 2 computer fans on it and you have a compressor that shouldn't be run for more than 20% duty cycle or so that Ive ran for roughly 10 years now at well over 50%, often up to 100% for 2 hrs straight and its still kicking. Just remember to drain your tank.<br />
<br />
Tank: If your going to buy a tank and can afford it, get a corrosion resistant one. Never fill it beyond its pressure capacity and make sure you have a pressure switch on the compressor that prevents over pressurization. Most have this already but if you go ripping parts off of your compressor, make sure you don't remove this.<br />
<br />
However, if you are in the market for a new compressor a couple lines you should consider for low sound (IE wont drive you or your house mates nuts from the sound) are the<br />
<br />

California air tools ultra quiet line ~56+dB --daytime only</h1>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would avoid paash and anything that doesn't output at least 60Psi. It will be disappointing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I believe sparmax is the re branding of the eurotec 10A but it claims only about 40PSI where the pressure gauge I put on my tank says its consistently pumping up to 60PSI. But I think the eagle line seems like the best bang for your buck in pressure, noise, and cost. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Regardless pick the trade offs you can deal with, and make sure it has at least a 1 gallon tank. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
AIR HOSE/LINE RESTRICTION:==========</div>
<div>
Ok you got your compressor and tank, you now need to get the air supply to the pneumatic cylinder. But airlines have restrictions/impedance and the restrictions are two fold, </div>
<div>
1. the ability of the airline to be flexible and not restrict movement during VR play</div>
<div>
2. the ability of the air line to deliver CFPM on demand. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thinner lines tend to be more flexible but greatly restrict flow limiting power at the piston. Feeling the restriction of thicker lines and their affect on your movement may constantly remind you your playing a game, which is less fun. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I recommend a braided hose, either a modified airbrush line or an ultra soft compressor line for the last 4-8ft, then whatever line you can reasonably afford to go from your tank to your rig. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I mount a quick coupler above my head with the cable tether and anchored it to make sure it cant swing down and nail me in the head. The airline regulator is mounted there too for ease of adjustment. I then cut a cheap airbrush braided rubber hose and re-connectorized it for my setup. I then anchored it loosely with para cord to a few points along the sling so in game I barely know its there, I just feel the sling. A few small carabiners on the back of my VR HMD and along the cable management tethers and I quickly snap the airline into place when needed, hook up the quick coupler and Im ready to rock. Also the quick coupler is useful to stop explosive air bleed out when you disconnect. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ON-BOARD RESEVOIRE:================</div>
<div>
So making tradeoffs, there is still more restriction in CFPM than Id like limiting the power of the cylinder, especially after the first shot or 3. This can be mitigated a bit, unless your a fan of full auto, by putting a small reservoir on the stock. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used PVC pipe and end caps, as well as appropriate PVC glue to make a small pressure chamber. Beware, you are making a small pipe bomb so read the instructions and use the glue/welding sludge correctly! You don't want the pressure chamber exploding in your face while playing. Take care and take precautions and don't get anywhere near the published pressure limit of your materials. <br />

Got the grip, the trigger, and the recoil... but the nose is left out.<br />
<br />
So we make a scent module.<br />
<br />
This one takes advantage of the vent gasses and uses the restricted line with a reservoir to make a scent chamber. Simply take some wire mesh (large surface area) roll it up, and burn something (paper, charcoal, fireworks, on it SAFELY. don't burn your house down. do small quantities at a time, very small.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidmbJNOp1vnBMZ_yUZtgh_L_qr16OFufgbu4y59H_JGY8s3-roORuJAPvtfQRcYsOrRe27ZPM3vAlNghdHk-d4m5gfa6dbySd8cbY8fOovAgAYRUvleGzvDCLWz1bMWiI_nS5B5FkQ-haR/s1600/DSC02480.JPG"><img border="0" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidmbJNOp1vnBMZ_yUZtgh_L_qr16OFufgbu4y59H_JGY8s3-roORuJAPvtfQRcYsOrRe27ZPM3vAlNghdHk-d4m5gfa6dbySd8cbY8fOovAgAYRUvleGzvDCLWz1bMWiI_nS5B5FkQ-haR/s320/DSC02480.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Once you have enough blackened toxins (yes burned stuff is usually toxic so don't overdue it) roll it up and spray some machine or gun lubricant into the mix.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now seal it up and with every shot you get a faint whiff of motor oil, burned metal, and fireworks... not perfect but noticeable for the immersion.<br />
<br />

<br />
For an electronic version you could simply put a fan on it to turn on with every firing. Plus the filter and reservoir help to decelerate the mass on the return stroke so its multi use.<br />

Soon a product called force tube *Go support their kickstarter* will be releasing an electric recoil. Stated to provide 60N force over what looks like a 1cm throw of an inserted slot in the butt pad. It bumps the shoulder. But my too powerful for fields G36 airsoft GBBR kicks fairly nicely and I wanted something that kicks at least as hard as that. Electronics likely isn't the way to go for a solid kick unless you are using some sequential fired coilgun like solenoid to get the momentum transfer (or impulse). At least not without a huge amount of power and likely a pretty heavy block of copper wire for the solenoids and some powerful ND54+ magnets that need to be sufficiently impact protected. <br />
<br />
So looking into it I came up with a design using the following for a<br />
<br />
PNEUMATIC RECOIL DEVICE.<br />
<br />
So I took my Stock from this.<br />

<br />
Granted I'm now cleaning it up to look nicer, but hey it works beautifully!<br />
<br />
And here is how.<br />
<br />
The basic parts needed are as follows.<br />
<br />
1. Double acting pneumatic cylinder OD 1.125" to 1.5", Stroke 2-5" Cost 20-60USD <br />
NUMATICS, CYLINDER, 1062DG2-02A-05, 1-1/16" BORE, 2" STROKE, PIVOT BUSHING<br />
Longer throw is better but depending on where you mount it you may not be able to have that much length without interfering with a controller or getting recoil at a strange angle. Ideally it impacts the but plate to transfer momentum directly to the shoulder as transferring it just to the rifle stock will likely overpower any magnets you have holding your controllers to the stock. I could see modifications to MAMUT and PROTUBE stocks to allow a kick in one direction to bottom out a stop on the magnet blocks while minimally influencing their effectiveness for rapid release and reattachment, but for now its easier just to put the weight right up against the shoulder. <br />
<br />
2. Directional Control Electric Solenoid Air Valve 4 Way 2 Position 1/4 Inch 12V DC 20-40usd<br />
gives about 20ms response which is good.<br />
<br />
3. 100ft 1/4" DOT Air Line Bags Air Ride Suspension 100 FT 1/4 inch 100' 30-40usd to connect the compressor to the recoil device. Run it down the cable for the HMD, then along the sling to the stock. A Quick fitting is recommended to detach the sling from the HMD.<br />
<br />
4. 5 PCS 1/4" OD x 1/4" NPT Swiveling Elbow Metal Push In to Connect Tube Fitting 10-20usd for nice easy connect/disconnect keeping a fairly low profile.<br />
<br />
5. ADJUSTABLE IN LINE PRESSURE REGULATOR FOR PNEUMATIC AIR TOOL,43-87 PSI, 1/4 NPT 20usd<br />
<br />
and a bunch of lesser parts.<br />
<br />
555 timer<br />
12V - 5V regulator POLOLU 5V 600mA --accept no substitute, this thing is cool and efficient.<br />
Ho31 A57 Nfet<br />
2x 1kohm POT<br />
1x 10kOhm POT<br />
2x 1n4148 diodes<br />
100nf cap--or so<br />
some resistors 1kohm to 10kohm.<br />
NTE3036 phototransistor<br />
prototype board<br />
0.8mm coax wire 1/2ft<br />
1 4mm or 5mm superbright white LED 3-3.4V operation 20mA max<br />
and other random minor circuit components<br />
some zip ties for initial setup<br />
1-1/4" to 1-1/2" OD aluminum tube (or larger) to protect you from the bounce weight.<br />
1 to 1-1/8" steel rod at least 2" long for a bounce weight 8oz with threads to mate to cylinder.<br />
Ability to drill hole in steel rod and cut and drill aluminum tube as protective sleeve<br />
Some creativity and sensibility in how you mount everything.<br />
1/8"OD steel or brass tube 2-3cm long for trigger pivot rod.<br />
1x 4.7mm OD x 3-6mm long ND magnet<br />
1x 1/8" OD 3-5mm long ND magnet<br />
<br />
Expendables:<br />
PC7 epoxy<br />
JB weld<br />
liquid electrical tape<br />
hot glue<br />
5min epoxy<br />
superglue<br />
a torch never hurts <br />
<br />
Total cost can be as little as 200 dollars, or as much as 400 depending on what you already have and if you buy a spare controller for the hack.--recommended just in case...<br />
<br />
------Fire control circuitry:<br />
This is pretty simple.<br />
You hack the haptic controller but stop when you get to the haptic linear oscillator as outlined in part 4.<br />
<br />
For the Oculus touch you will find it shorts at 11mA and opens at 3V, so just enough to drive a superbright LED, white with a 3V threshold and 20mA limit. You may need to play around with this but if you get red the breakdown is lower and you need a resistor so you don't over source the controller. If your threshold is too high it just wont light up. Also if you get too low of a threshold diode the diode will light up on haptic pulses for mic presses, slide release, mag release etc, so try to get an LED close to the 3v limit, but still too bright to look at and draws 10mA at 3V (use 2 AA batteries and a DMM to test this) This way the LED filters undesired haptics. Test it in game before closing up the controller for good. <br />
<br />
Next remove the haptic and run a 0.8mm coax, or 2 thin silicone wires up through the controller and out to the magnet mount where you will drill a strategic hole and install the LED. now drill a corresponding hole and mount the sensor inline to pick up the signal. I housed the photodiode with a small brass tube for robustness and to reflect extra light. I also installed a tinny 1/16" magnet beside the brass tube to attract the metal can of the photodiode so I can easily remove it for testing and let it snap back in place.<br />
<br />
The below circuit takes it from the photodide and converts short and long haptic pulses into a sequence of pulses as long as you tune it. So you have to tune it for the weapon you are using. I find this easily done with one of the two POT's RV1 or RV2. These control the up and down pulse width thereby controlling pulse width and frequency. You typically want your up pulse to be no longer than 20-30ms and your down pulse 30-100ms depending on the weapon your simulating. Since we will put a physical dampener on the return stroke (down pulse) you want it longer so If you are short stroking try turning the down pulse longer and the up pulse shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">EDIT: Note do not use LiIon batteries. The stock kicks too hard and after 10k rounds or so compacts the foil in the batteries. Use a tethered 12V supply parallel to the airline or NiCd NiMH or other batteries proven to take a beating with radio controlled vehicles. (dont use LiPos without great dampening)</span><br />
<strike>Also lesson learned, You need 12V to drive the solenoid so I used 3 lithium batteries 6000mAh. </strike>However! if you use a cheap step-down converter it will likely be inefficient, overheat and fry. I used a Pololu 5V 600mA and it stays nice n cool. other Chinese crap tend to burn out with a drop from 12V to 5V at a few hundred mA. You may need to play with the cap and resistor values but these should be pretty close to what you need for 600-900RPM fire rates.<br />
<br />
You may also put an interrupt switch in line with the signal from the 3036 photodiode to the 555 timer pin 4 which is only "on" when the front magnet mount is engaged. This helps further with the white LED to prevent misfires and is quite effective. While I look forward to hacking a Forcetube control board after their kickstarter, you almost don't need to. But the tuning per weapon may get old after a while. It takes 10 seconds typically but may take 2 minutes if your a little slow or didn't design enough range in the circuit PWM with RV1 and RV2 (variable resistors or POTs).<br />

<br />
<br />
Operational current on standby at 12V is about 15mA and up to about 150mA peak per shot fired. 3 lithium batteries at 6000maH will last a while.<br />
<br />
<br />
FINALLY A REMINDER ON SAFETY:<br />
You are using 60+Psi to accelerate an 8+ oz mass toward your arm. Make darned sure you have built a sleeve and frame of sufficient robustness so you CANNOT GET HURT. Test fire it on the floor first. A lot! Also make sure the mass impact the frame right against your shoulder, or hits a movable part that hits your shoulder directly to reduce shock waves travelling through the frame and making the accelerometers in the controllers jump.<br />
<br />
Operating it like the picture below without a mount and without stops is dangerous. Don't do it. Plus without a dampener at the end of each stroke your likely to destroy the cylinder. This particular model had integrated air dampeners. Most dont.<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: black;">Ok for this, I didnt take very good pictures during my hack so Im going to borrow very liberally from https://www.roadtovr.com/oculus-touch-teardown-disassembly/<br /><br />and from https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Oculus+Touch+Teardown/75109<br /><br />Also, in retrospect this modification should be done BEFORE part 2 unless your just going to wait for the forcetube kickstarter for the signal board.<br />Most of the pictures initially are from them.<br />However partway through we stop because they take it apart too far for our needs. There are only 4 screws you need to takeout (maybe 5)</span><br />
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px 0px 5px; max-height: none; max-width: 800px; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: auto; text-overflow: ellipsis;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><img alt="Thanks to a handy &quot;eject&quot; arrow, we're alerted that this Touch controller slides open just like any other remote." src="https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/XKsoXv2liQcBVtXR.medium" /></span>Remove the battery cover and battery. Remove the decal. Use a torx screwdriver to remove the screws. I believe 3 are visible at this point. Keep track of lengths and where they go (note taking is a good idea).</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;">Now get a thin firm piece of plastic, like a fake credit card trash you get in the mail, sharpen one edge and carefully wedge it around the perimeter of the top plate but only going in about 2 mm so you dont damage anything. Carefully work it around to pry up the top plate.</span><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><img alt="oculus touch teardown (5)" src="https://roadtovrlive-5ea0.kxcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/oculus-touch-teardown-5-680x383.jpg" /></span><br />

Now pry off the haptic grip cover. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><img alt="We're able to remove the final Torx screw with a turn of a Pro Tech Driver." src="https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/vJnUpPbPMQtfg2VZ.medium" /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />Once the cover is off, you can see the haptic with a red and black wire going to it. The haptic is covered with kapton tape (yellow). First carefully remove the wires from the haptic, I snip them at the base of the LOSC/haptic after pulling up the kapton. Then very patiently and slowly and carefully pry out the haptic block. You might be able to just leave it in there but I saw no need. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv0qet66s7aT9b1VSw6q1GlEvUa8LE0lB7ZkpB-Sy-rfC2et5WyfABP6_WnjUzpyizRnqpHXFRyyc69jZzH-nZ7_weZaRxkQbdi3d5Ad0VYD3yKnKGkHkfNVJ_P5HBZjg8PbchPxJbmn05/s1600/Haptic+Rewire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-weight: 400;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv0qet66s7aT9b1VSw6q1GlEvUa8LE0lB7ZkpB-Sy-rfC2et5WyfABP6_WnjUzpyizRnqpHXFRyyc69jZzH-nZ7_weZaRxkQbdi3d5Ad0VYD3yKnKGkHkfNVJ_P5HBZjg8PbchPxJbmn05/s640/Haptic+Rewire.jpg" width="640" /></a></span>The wire used is something like this from ebay for a few bucks. Hope you like soldering tinny coax wire!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: black; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-weight: 700;">Pigtail Antenna Cable RF0.81 IPEX to IPEX Connector Extension Cable 15cm Long</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;">From here I soldered the 2 wires to a 0.8mm Diameter coaxial cable just in case I might encounter interference to any bluetooth RF or anything else with a twisted pair. I routed the wire up as per the red path here careful to avoid LED's, and capacitive sensors. Then drilled a small hole out the case next to the LED ring and Liquid electrical taped the wire to the edge of the ring to secure it and a few key points inside away from any electronics, to secure it. Ensure the grip button on the side doesn't smash the wire where it bends around to enter the top plate region. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;">Drill a hole in the plastic cup then line up and drill a corresponding hole in the mating cup. Or do as I did and line it up to one of the finger recess points on the perimeter. I used a brass tube for reflectivity and liquid electrical taped that tube in place. When using glue or liquid electrical tape on the cups either for magnet mounting or led or whatever, be sure to use something like a solid sheet of packaging tape between the cups to prevent gluing them together. Remove the tape 12-24 hrs once the glue has set. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once the wire is secured carefully fit test each panel as you put it back ensuring the touch controller goes back together without interference. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now the pictures start to get uglier. </span><br />

The end of the wire gets soldered to a white superbright LED V=3-3.4V. (note earlier how I said it must turn on at 3V and draw about 10mA. be sure of this before soldering that on or you will regret it. Test it in a game to be sure it lights up on a haptic pulse like firing a pistol or rifle. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;">In the above picture Red is the LED and photodiode. Green is the extra magnet I installed to improve pull away sheer force as I pull the stock into my shoulder. And blue is the epoxy putty I used to brace the mamut more directly to the touch handle so the LED ring was supporting less weight. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;">A bit of epoxy putty also helps at the base of the mamut mount to remove stress from the LED ring and smooth what the index finger feels when you have a 5 lb stock weighing down on your hand. I felt the need to round off the bottom of the mamut a lot so it didn't dig into my finger. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;">Now, if you did it right every time the haptic should fire for a "shot fired" signal you should get a pulse of light out of the LED. the optical relay if done right is incredibly reliable. The sensing circuit later will have a POT to adjust the sensitivity. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black;">But, while we are here there is one last modification. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black;">To help ensure the recoil device doesn't fire when your not actually shooting, or braced with both controllers, we put an interrupt switch in the front cup. This switch takes almost no pressure to activate and is carefully scewed into the hole we drilled to stick up just enough for the cup to close the switch when the cup is engaged with a controller. This way you have to have both controllers in to have any chance of the recoil device firing. Thus room lights should be even less likely to set it off, and shooting one handed wont set it off and risk the recoil knocking the magnet cup free. I also put a bit of JB weld on the tip of the button so its harder and lower friction so it doesn't snag. I liquid electrical taped the back of the switch as a rubber impact absorber. Try not to impact it. </span><br />

Im not a fan of VFG's for a variety of reasons and prefer to grab the handguard. Therefore, molding a pistol grip on to the controller for what is typically my supporting hand didn't make sense. Further, I whatever I put on it shouldn't be too unwieldy as a pistol grip for when I'm using the hand for the sidearm in a pinch. But long story short, the controller grips are too thin, a simple 1 3/4 to 2" OD pvc section 4 inches or so long, milled or drilled with some slots to simulate a keymod handguard, cut out button slots and we have a workable very cheap and simple solution. Plane the surfaces to a quasi octagon and you have a nice slip over handguard analog for the fore grip. Squeeze hard to temporarily deform it to be ovular for insertion/extraction and the battery cover is easy to get to. no glue needed. The spring force clamps the controller grip nicely and gives you a larger firmer grip to prevent hand cramp and help with your grip related propreoception for the supporting hand. <br />

Seriously even an airsoft GBBR has trigger pull of half a pound or more, at least for the better ones. The Oculus has a trigger pull of about 1 Oz This I had to fix and the fix is fairly simple. First you cant replace the spring easily as its hard to get to, and you may damage a flex cable, so leave the internals of the trigger on the touch controller alone.<br />
<br />
With this mod, you can no longer just slap the 1oz trigger, you have to carefully squeeze and use better trigger discipline.<br />
<br />
A 3d printed frame that clamps or mounts to the front of the controller giving a fake trigger that you pull which releases with more force and more crisply is fairly cheap and easy to implement and doesn't necessarily have to change the base controller at all. With the right clamp on or wrap around design it seemlessly converts your shooting hand to one that learns a bit better trigger discipline. And please remember to always keep your finger off of that trigger until your ready to pull the trigger on a valid target, even in VR! Thats what the trigger guard is for! *sigh... seen a few buddies get shot by some idiot screwing with their rifle stock in VR at the start of a match*<br />

Use your phone to align the assembly to the Oculus touch to minimally occlude the LED's.<br />
lightly sand all interface surfaces then apply a thin layer of JB weld. Tape over any moving parts or parts you dont want epoxy getting on to so you can later remove the tape and extra glue.<br />

Let it Dry overnight 12-24 hrs and your ready to rock n roll. Adjust pull weight by slipping thin layers of electrical tape between magnets. This also dampens the impact and reduces VR gun bounce due to impulse. Use a food scale to adjust to about 1lb breaking force.<br />
<br />
Then remove all tape and install a stack of electrical tape about 1cm long by tape width, by 8-12 layers thick between the trigger and the Oculus trigger. Install a single layer of scotch tape over the electrical tape for friction reduction. This will allow you to dampen the impact on the trigger and use the shape of the metal trigger to force the Oculus trigger to travel much faster when the trigger breaks free thereby converting a short sharp pull to the long pull of the Oculus trigger. Alternatively stack 12 or more layers to pre-compress the Oculus trigger to just under the point where the VR gun fires to get a nice quick acting trigger as soon as the magnet breaks free. You may need to adjust the tape stack position higher or lower along the trigger to get it to break at the right point and take advantage of the lever action of the trigger mating shape.<br />

A bit of green epoxy putty helps brace the trigger guard to the Mamut mount to help transfer stress and load bearing up into the stock without stressing the ring on the touch controller too much.<br />

Finally, if you choose to cut up a cheap airsoft pistol grip and install it over the controller. Use a respirator and vaccuum before cutting and dremmeling out the inside as many are glass filled nylon. Cut it down the center, then trace patterns for the button and form fit. Then dremmel out the inside to mold around the controller. Tape sections of the controller with scotch tape to prevent gluing the controller shut, then very carefully glue the halves onto the controller. Take special note to protect buttons from glue. Also take extra special note that the side with the battery cover is taped entirely around the battery cover so glue only dries to the cover which slides off. Perhaps we can get someone like Mamut to make overmold pistol, 1911, glock, handguard grips.... Hint hint.<br />

Great fun, Pretty good weapon handling. But.... still missing things. One of the biggest was the feel of the rifles wasn't right. Rants aside about vertical fore grips the next aspects of the virtual rifles that annoyed me was the lack of recoil or incredibly weak trigger pull. Anyway, why should you read this absurdly long post. It tells how to make the following pneumatic recoil stock for VR games for crazy DIY'ers who want a forcetube, but want more than 60N force and they want it right now!'ish. To be upgraded with a forcetube fire control board once their kickstarter is over. Go support it!<br />

<br />
But, First lets discuss what felt recoil is.<br />
<br />
Actually before that, Why not just go buy a stock from someone who makes VR rifles. Well they usually dont incorperate hand controllers so the game has no idea what your hand is doing if you take it away from the rifle. And for immersion that one is pretty big to me. Plus ego says I want to build it. Ok back to felt recoil.<br />
<br />
Lets leave the bulk of it to someone else to discuss who should know what they are talking about. Searching the web this guy seemed to take a decent examination of it so Ill make him the gold standard out of laziness and not knowing better myself.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/07/01/muzzle-brakes-recoil-primer-test-equipment-rifles/">https://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/07/01/muzzle-brakes-recoil-primer-test-equipment-rifles/</a><br />
<br />
But just in case they ever take it down, Im reposting a few of their images below.<br />
<img height="300" src="https://2poqx8tjzgi65olp24je4x4n-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/How-Rifle-Recoil-Works.png" width="320" /><br />
Self explanatory, lots of energy produced and if I recall the rough rule of thumb is not much more than 1/3 of the energy goes into the bullet and we can crudely just say the momentum of the rifle at the end equals the momentum of the bullet and at worse we are off by a factor of 2x. And we are playing video games so I can stomach 2x easily.<br />
<br />
Now for most games I imagine I would want something between a 22lr (very weak recoil) in an unforgiving wood stock and a 223 round (roughly equivalent to 556) with a direct impingement AR style bolt. Maybe later we want to "upgrade" to perceived recoil of a larger cartridge in a solid wood stock (ouch).<br />
<br />
<img height="260" src="https://2poqx8tjzgi65olp24je4x4n-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Perceived-Recoil-or-Felt-Recoil.png" width="320" /><br />
As his article states there is argument over what is the closest measurand of perceived recoil but again I want ballpark cuz its a game and the controllers can't take a hard recoil.<br />
<br />
But I can work with total energy, Or impulse or whatever. Its basic math and we are spitballing.<br />
The thing is many of these curves measure in the hundred of newtons or footpounds in fractions of a second... so yea, spitballing.<br />
<br />
More searching found a table of rough energies.<br />
<img height="249" src="https://www.shooterscalculator.com/images/recoil-energy-of-various-rifles.png" width="640" /><br />
So if life were ideal we would have between 0.2 and 5 ft-LbF or about 0.3 to 7 joules. <br />
<br />
Now measuring the area under the curve or roughly force times time gives impulse, or change in momentum per unit time.<br />
<img alt="{\displaystyle \mathbf {J} =\int _{t_{1}}^{t_{2}}\mathbf {F} \,\mathrm {d} t=\Delta \mathbf {p} =m\mathbf {v_{2}} -m\mathbf {v_{1}} }" src="https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/1f3cb4c2cb3277a12751f455bfe99b98a3a7eca9" /><br />
<br />
ForceTube Recoil:============================<br />
So to get really sloppy with math lets look at forcetube. (correct me if I have any of this wrong)<br />
What we know of their prototypes (the production should be more powerful)<br />
Theirs works by applying a near continuous force from the transducers to the buttpad insert over a distance of 5mm. It is direct force to the shoulder counter balanced by your pull of the stock into your shoulder.<br />
F~ 60N Force of the solenoid/spring<br />
M~ 2.5kg weight of entire stock and controllers.<br />
dx ~ 5mm Max displacement of the shoulder insert or *2 for total return per cycle<br />
dt ~ 50ms Lets assume they can get up to 20 rounds per second to simulate nearly all full auto.<br />
<br />
Lets calculate a few different ways to get a rough envelope to account for estimate errors.<br />
<br />
Energy / work<br />
F * dx = 60*.005=0.3 Nm ---this came to the highest so Ill just assume this value as the max raw energy.<br />
1/2 M * V^2 = 0.5 * 2.5 * (.01/.05)^2 = .05 Nm --it assumes accelerating the entire stock using the velocity of the insert and assuming the same velocity of the stock... a bad assumption yes.<br />
<br />
Impulse --I dont have a chart above but may be useful to compare later.<br />
F*dt = 60 * .05 = 3 Ns --- again we will take this one as the highest<br />
M*dV = 10mm/50ms*2.5kg = 0.01/.05*2.5=0.5 kg m/s<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
To compare to the chart above .3Nm converts to 0.22 ft Lbf so about that of a 22lr!<br />
or at worst .05Nm => 1/6th that of a 22lr<br />
<br />
<br />
Pneumatic Recoil:===========================<br />
The pneumatic recoil, as its presently designed, accelerates an 8oz mass at 60psi to slam into a glass filled nylon and firm rubber butpad (1cm thick in total) directly into the shoulder. So rather than a solid force you feel a shock or more of an momentum transfer. I chose 8oz as that is the weight of a light AR15 bolt according to google.<br />
Ok the specs on my parts are.<br />
Pressure 60Psi peak<br />
Piston diameter 1 1/16" website says for 60PSI it delivers about 50lbf<br />
F = 50lbf or 222N<br />
Mass of bounce weight 8 oz (1/2 lb) or 0.227kg<br />
Mass of stock with everything 5.5lbs or 2.5kg<br />
dx 2" throw per direction or 50mm<br />
dt ~ 70ms for forward and return round trip<br />
<br />
Energy / work<br />
F*dx = 222N * .05m = 11Nm <br />
1/2 M * V^2 = 0.5 * 0.227 * (.1/.07)^2 = 0.23Nm<br />
<br />
So at most, assuming the pneumatic actually delivered max pressure over the entire stroke the total energy would be on par with 8.1ftlbf or about an AK or as little as 0.17ftlbf or 90% of a 22lr at worse.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now looking at raw energy especially since these work by different mechanisms its difficult to actually compare them. without having both on the same load cell with the same reference mass.<br />
<br />
But one upgrade I may implement soon is a sliding butt plate that the mass impacts directly and it slides freely of the stock so then all of the momentum does transfer directly to the shoulder, and for the past few mm you get a full 200+ newtons of force. This will take some careful design to ensure it doesn't shatter or get bound.<br />
<br />

Given that I had boxes of minis and no where to put them I decided it wsa time to learn woodworking and make a display cabinet. And it cost about as much to make a new one the size I wanted as buy a new one. and mine is better!. So I designed a solid model, then learned how to use a router and wood tools and ... a month or two later a cabinet!. But of course this holds only like half of my models... I need to upgrade the number of shelves later.<br />

A Curtis Wright XP-55 ascender. I had this designed up and printed in my dreamfoundry shop on shapeways since no one made it with sufficient detail. I really liked this design so I had several printed to play with their paintjobs.<br /><br /><br />

And another vampire painted in dazzle to match the Mazikeen as one of its escort fighters.atropos907http://www.blogger.com/profile/08352981544126971150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914170259869653334.post-14797460696387697762018-08-27T22:34:00.004-07:002018-09-12T08:50:38.460-07:00The Airship Destroyer: MazikeenNamed from a Jewish demon, this Jewish naval ship patrols the sky protecting the holdings and operations of its citizenry. A state of the art destroyer capable of taking on ships twice its size with a combination of speed, agility, and raw firepower. With an enormous counter rotating turbo-prop main drive and an impressive array of rapidly deployed mechanically controlled sails the Mazikeen can outrun any ship in its class. and keep up with some frigates.<br />
<br />
It boasts a main deck gun with 3 barrels that can deliver long range artillery, flak, or ship killer rounds. A 6 pack of rockets typically loaded with a few ship killers and a few broad area flak rounds to make short work of incoming squadrons and pirate airships. a handful of heavy caliber deck guns hold their own against fighters and even mid sized corvettes and smaller frigates. A huge serrated prow blade allows for collision courses to be pretty one sided as it can shred the top of a zepplin or tear the sails or heavy gantry struts of other large craft. Finally, the Ventral spine boasts 4 cradles that can carry up to heavy-figher class escorts making this cruiser a bit of a pocket carrier in a pinch. This state-of-the-art destroyer is not to be taken lightly. It has its own messages for pirates on the aft string of signal flags.<br />
<br />
More fighters coming soon.<br />
Also looking closely you will see two Sanderson Vampires, one Hughes Devastator and one Hughes Bloodhawk docked on the ventral cradles. I magnetized some of these models to allow for easily attachment and removal from the cradles on all of the equipped airships. <br />

Crimson skies dieselpunk fighters from Iron Wind Metalsatropos907http://www.blogger.com/profile/08352981544126971150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914170259869653334.post-82129419789727236552018-08-27T17:00:00.000-07:002018-08-27T17:00:24.512-07:00The Airship Blockade Runner Type Corvette Known Only as 343. This captured naval blockade running strike bomber was somehow captured by pirates. No one knows how but they couldn't have asked for a meaner little corvette. Not mounting much for long range weapons the 343 typically is escorted by fighters as it charges through pickets. It wastes no "fuel efficiency" on sails instead relying on a relatively enormous prop to propel this heavily armored ship through enemy lines, and sometimes right through enemy sails using its lateral sail cutters to shred its enemies ability to give chase. 6ea 70 caliber cannons under the nose allow it to chew through most ships in its path or strafe a path of destruction on enemy fortifications. It has two dorsal flak cannons to ward off fighters and can carry an explosive bomb so powerful many in an alternate time line would think it is a mini nuke. While the only official name appears to be the 343, rumor in the pirate community is the crew often refer to it as the penetration. <br />
<br />
Though fast it is not nimble and any strike is typically a single pass. No one knows why the 343 was taken though some suspect it is now used to run contraband knowing few forces are likely to spot this small sleek ship in time and no reasonably sized patrol can prevent its passing. The captain known for his vulgar signal flag messages fails to disappoint and may be making some reference to the unofficial name and function of this airship. <br />

His previous crew of the Jako'lantern themed for pumpkin carvings and glowing pumpkins thrown at ships during boarding operations died in their sleep one night after a pumpkin light jack on fighter causing him to jump around before putting it out. The name jumpin jack stuck.. for the night.. until he set the entire ship on fire and took off in a captured autogyro to start over. Somehow he got a new crew (that shows 'em proper respect) and this incredibly fast Cutter class ship he uses it to make lighting raids on unsuspecting cargo haulers and cruise liners. His cutter has been upgraded with a launch rail for anti-ship Rockets that should be out of this cutter's class, a huge ballista like harpoon for snairing its prey, and a few deck guns to ward off fighters. Never take for granted the resourcefulness of those who aim to misbehave. <br />
The prow has also been refitted with a sail shredder allowing the Jacks ship to scream in and quickly shred through a main sail while then latching on with a harpoon and suppressing the prey's crew with the deck guns. Jack is a nasty bit of work and rarely spends more than a few minutes on a captured ship before making his escape. an incredibly effective tactic that has allowed him to escape some impressive relief forces sent to rescue his hapless prey. <br />
<br />
He too has a parting message in signal flags on the aft section of the ship. with the impressive array of sails and the trio of turboprops for propulsion, only fighters with long range have any chance of catching up if he has a head start. <br />

The martime signal flags on this one is advertising a vacant crew slot for work though you'll need to translate it yourself. <br />
<br />
The tanker is named the "Texas Teapot" for its cargo. Also a minimum air escort of a single attack craft is cradled below. A Fairchild Brigand fighter called the "black gold" due to her black and gold paint scheme. While you might expect a fuel tanker to need a larger fighter escort these texaco tankers have a nasty reputation of being suicidal. Fitted with several high pressure nozzles facing several directions, it is able to spray a sizeable volume of fuel into a makeshift Fuel Air thermobaric explosive. Any fighters charging it are likly to charge into a cloud of pre-saturated fuel which then ignites by their engines or a flair fired from the teapot or her escort fighter, and its game over. If they believe they are going to loose anyway, captains have been known to set all nozzles to spray then jump overboard firing a time delayed flair as they fall. To date no hostile hijacking of a texaco fuel tanker has been successful. Dont F' with Texans and their Tea!<br />

<br />
The inspiration was from crimson skies aircraft pulling from a pulp or dieselpunk ww2 era, but I felt they didnt go far enough. Their airships were a little.. dull. So many years ago I started kitbashing airships. A hint was shown about 7-10 years ago with the large graf zepplin conversion (which still isnt finished being painted) but more recently I started pushing through alternate airship designs. I thought if we are taking zeps and adding more weight than they can possibly carry, why not go with sails and other fun or more exotic designs. Now in the next few days/weeks ill post the progress. I had to make myself stop painting and start taking pictures... because painting is always more fun when I can find time for it. <br />
<br />
To start, a Yakuza yacht. With 1 small ducted turboprop this thing can get decent speed and with the sails, its as fast as the wind. .. mainly useful to get them away from rival gangs while their air cover mops up. But nothing makes a statement of elegance like 4 enormous sails. With the right jet stream few fighters have the range to be a threat for long. And it may look like a Yacht, but never trust the Yakuza gangs from sneaking zepkiller rockets in place of their life boats. <br />

But to kick off the repair work I will post a present I made for my mother, an avid DS9 fan. For her birthday she got a DS9 and her choice of 3 ships, she chose the refit enterprise, the solar sail ship, and a Klingon BOP. The background is just a gaming mat I made years ago for space games since it had a supermassive black hole with superluminal jets... that looks a bit like a wormhole.<br />
<br />
all models, to the best of my ability, are roughly 1:2500 scale. <br />
<br />
Now back to the diesel-punk air armada!<br />
