weapon_cubemap is a weapon entity available in older 
Source engine games. It has been stripped out in games running on newer Source engine branches (in all games since ) for an unknown reason.
Fortunately, some games have this weapon restored through mods:

weapon_cubemap in 
Counter-Strike: Source.
Counter-Strike: Source.This entity gives the player a set of spheres (models/shadertest/envballs.mdl), each with different reflective surfaces. It is used for checking cubemaps.
The commands to receive the weapon_cubemap (typed into the console) is either impulse 81 or give weapon_cubemap.
These commands are considered cheats, meaning that sv_cheats or developer mode must be enabled for them to work.
You can switch to this weapon (after having received it) by typing use weapon_cubemap.
Tip:To equip and draw the weapon for quick work, developers can bind this command to a specific key. For instance, typing bind "X" "impulse 81"; "use weapon_cubemap" will bind it to the X key. (You may need to press it twice the first time you use it in a map.)
