weapon_alyxgun
Entity description
Alyx's gun. It is not intended to be used; however, it can be used in Half-Life 2 single player by using the command give weapon_alyxgun with the convar sv_cheats set to 1. It is apparently a burst-fire pistol, capable of switching to single shot mode, with considerable strength. There is no player view model. When used by the player, the weapon is capable of firing in a fully automatic mode. The model the player sees when wielding it is the worldmodel of the gun, hovering in front of them. Other instances result in a giant "ERROR" placeholder model 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.
