Alyx's gun. It's not intended to be obtained by the player however it can be obtained with commands like give and can be used. If player picks it up, the viewmodel covers half of the screen.

It's apparently a custom made pistol that can be fired in semi-automatic, burst fire or automatic mode. Potentially, there was also supposed to be a rifle mode, as seen in the gun's animation library.
