GibShooter:

Number of Gibs (m_iGibs) <integer>: Total number of gibs to shoot each time the entity should shoot.

Gib Angles (Pitch Yaw Roll) (gibangles) <vector3>: The orientation of the spawned gibs.

Max angular velocity (gibanglevelocity) <float>: How fast (degrees/sec) the gibs should spin. They will spin on the x and y axes between 10% and 100% of this speed.

Course Variance (m_flVariance) <float>: How much variance in the direction gibs are fired.

Gib Life (m_flGibLife) <float>: Time in seconds for gibs to live +/- 5%.

Lighting Origin (lightingorigin) <targetname>: Select an entity (not info_lighting!) to specify a location to sample lighting from for all gibs spawned by this shooter, instead of their own origins.
