gibshooter is a point entity available in all Source games. It shoots out giblets. Style of body part depends on language type.^[Clarify]

Note:This entity is fairly outdated. New games use Env_shooter instead.

Note:In Black Mesa differs from other games in that this entity shoots out giblets of a male scientist. The best example is the scene in bm_c1a2b.

AltNames: In Black Mesa, this entity is also tied to env_gibshooter.
