func_50cal is a brush entity available in Black Mesa. This is M2 Browning (or Browning .50 caliber machine gun) that was used by HECU soldiers during the operation on the territory of the Black Mesa Research Facility. Can be used by player and HECU soldiers. This machine gun is also used in dm_stalkyard. All outputs and flags are same as func_tank, properties as well, but some have special notes. The same for inputs, but there are one unique.

Note:The fire and deploy sounds are hardcoded. You still can change both in your Black Mesa mod by replacing the sounds with a blank sounds and playing your own sounds via input/output system.

Note:Only certain NPCs (npc_human_commander, npc_human_grenadier, npc_human_grunt and npc_human_medic) can use this weapon via FindNPCToManTank input. Other will ignore this input.

Note:The bullet particles is different in singleplayer and multiplayer, multiplayer particles are smaller.

Note:The original model for this gun is a bit unfinished. It doesn't have mesh under it (can be noticed in dm_stalkyard and bm_c2a5a). It also uses concrete surface parametrs, instead of metal surface parametrs.

Bug:Must be combined with model. Otherwise, game will crash when this entity will shoot.

Bug:NPC's weapon breaks after this gun usage. It doesn't removes, but becomes invisible and unable to shoot (NPC still reload weapon several times, for some reason). This breaks the AI partially, because such NPC still thinks that it have functional weapon. (not in

)

Bug:You can find bug in dm_stalkyard when model doesn't rotates with gun position. The gun can kill controller at this moment, because it rotates 360 degrees at this moment. This seems to happen if you quickly press use button several times.

The bug example.
Note the gun muzzle position and position of the bullets.

Confirm:Can be fixed.

Keyvalues

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <QAngle>: This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.; Important:Value from this property affects what direction the gun treats as its default and snaps to when is not controlled (for instant, this is why the gun in the little bunker in bm_c2a2c turns to wrong angle).

Effect Handling (effecthandling) <choices>

Produce these sound and particle effects when firing.

0: Use Individual Settings.
1: AR2
Note:Changes the color of the fire light to blue.
2: Combine Cannon
Bug:Shooting will cause DispatchEffect: effect "ChopperMuzzleFlash" not found on client error message in the console.

Inputs

StopFiring <void> !FGD: Fires when stops firing. This input is probably created for debugging. Doesn't affect anything.

Dedicated ConVars

Cvar/Command	Parameters or default value	Descriptor	Effect
`bm_50cal_scale`	`1.25`	Float	Model scale to set for `func_50cal`'s parent entity. Important:This console variable is hidden with "development only" flag. Can't be changed without using server plugins.
