Weapon alyxgun

Entity Description

Alyx's Gun

Alyx's gun. It is not intended to be used; however, it can be used in HL2 single player. It is apparently a burst-fire pistol,capable of switching to single shot mode, with considerable strength, and no player model. When used by the player, the weapon is capable of firing in a fully automatic mode, which leads to the conclusion that NPCs only fire the weapon in short bursts. The model the player sees when wielding it is the worldmodel of the gun, hovering eerily in front of them. Other instances result in a giant ERROR hovering in front of the player, or the gun appearing in a vertical position next to the player's 'head'. The Alyxgun has its own unique ammo type. It can be wielded both by Alyx, and by npc_citizens. According the animations of its model, it also has the potential to be folded out into a submachine gun and a rifle. Do not use without altering the code to repair it.
