Weapon in Hand pushing Character because of Colliders

I am working on a VR game. My Character has two hands and can grab objects.

When I grab a weapon and hit the hitbox of the character with it, the character gets pushed away.

When I grab a weapon, the weapon becomes the child of the hand. I set the weapon's rigidbody to kinematic, but still collision is happening (I guess because the weapon colliders now take the player's rigidbody).

I tried to set the weapon the a different layer that does not do any physics with the player. But for that, I will have to change the layer of all childs and childs of childs of that weapon. Colliders of the weapon are organized in many childs:



Is there anyway to prevent this behaviour?

 

If you just set it to kinematic I don't think it "transfers" to the player rigidbody, try disabling the rigidbody completely (I think you can't set it active/unactive, but just remove the rigidbody and place it back when the weapon drops)

 

Thanks for your reply.

I tried that in the past and it did not work.

1. Remove Rigidbody: The weapon now takes the rigidbody of the character that holds the weapon
2. Kinematic Rigidbody: Seems to be the same here

 

Maybe there is an issue, regarding how I set up the GameObject structure?

The Rigidbody is on the empty gameObject "pistol_03 (1)", bu eh colliders are under the different Transforms in "Mesh" (e.g. "Cube" and "Cube.001")
