weapon_item_spawn is a point entity available in 
Left 4 Dead 2. It is a spawn point for any available item, except weapon upgrades. Spawned item is automatically placed on the ground below.
Keyvalues
- Ammo pile (item1) <boolean>
- First aid kit (item2) <boolean>
- Molotov Cocktail (item3) <boolean>
- Pain Pills (item4) <boolean>
- Pipe Bomb (item5) <boolean>
- Oxygen Tank (item6) <boolean>

- Boomer Bile (item13) <boolean>
- Chainsaw (item16) <boolean>
- Grenade Launcher (item17) <boolean>
- M60 Machinegun (item18) <boolean>
- If set to 1, the director considers to spawn this, or any other item with the boolean set to 1
- Melee Weapon (melee_weapon) <string>
- If empty, the director won't consider to spawn a melee in this place. If you want the director to consider spawning one, use one or multiple names listed below, like in the
weapon_melee_spawnentity

You may also list multiple specific melee weapons separated by a comma, and the director will select from among that subset of weapons:
crowbar,fireaxe,machete
- 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.

- Spawned Item Must Exist : [2]

Editing the FGD (Optional)
Helper Model
Unfortunately, this entity lacks any sort of helper model to make it easier to position the item realistically, so here is a quick guide on how to add the option for a helper model:
- Open Left 4 Dead 2\bin\left4dead2.fgd
- Using the find option, search for:
@PointClass base(Targetname,Angles) = weapon_item_spawn
- Replace that with:
@PointClass base(Targetname,Angles,Studiomodel)studioprop() = weapon_item_spawn
Then, if you have Hammer already open while making these changes, save whatever you were doing, close Hammer, and once you launch it you will see this option
Default Values
Some Keyvalues are automatically set to 1 on this entity, which can be tedious to set back to 0 if you don't want that item.
To change this, go to the same FGD as above, but this time, look for this line and change the desired default values to 0:
item1(integer) : "Ammo pile" : 1 item2(integer) : "First aid kit" : 0 item3(integer) : "Molotov Cocktail" : 1 item4(integer) : "Pain Pills" : 1 item5(integer) : "Pipe Bomb" : 1 item6(integer) : "Oxygen Tank" : 0 item7(integer) : "Propane Tank" : 0 item8(integer) : "Gasoline Can" : 0 //item9(integer) : "" : 0 //item10(integer) : "" : 0 item11(integer) : "Adrenaline" : 1 item12(integer) : "Defibrillator" : 0 item13(integer) : "Boomer Bile" : 0 //item14(integer) : "" : 0 //item15(integer) : "" : 0 item16(integer) : "Chainsaw" : 0 item17(integer) : "Grenade Launcher" : 0 item18(integer) : "M60 Machinegun" : 0
