I play mostly FPS games in VR. To be honest stabbing a dude was a pretty jarring experience the first time I did it in VR. I also remember hitting the ground pretty hard the first time I heard rounds whizzing over my head. But that kind of adreneline pumping experience goes away really quickly. Once it's normalized your body stops having a reaction to it.

As a counter anecdote, I had no such reaction. It felt no more "real" than a game played with my mouse and keyboard.

The only time I hit the ground was when I tried to go into a crouch and had the floor height misconfigured. That left a mark.
