env_weaponfire is a point entity available in the Left 4 Dead series. This entity is used to mimic weapon fire from the guns in L4D. It does damage, muzzle flash, tracers, and impact effects. While it is great for intro cinematics, the entity is not 100% faithful to L4D weapon behavior (shots don't penetrate multiple zombies, for example). All effects are done client side, and so bandwidth usage is pretty low but it isn't perfectly in-sync with the server-side damage calculation.
Bug: This entity can't change the angle of itself in game! Either script or other ways are so. Once you specify the angle in Hammer and it will keep unchanged after compiling.- To do: Find that there are other ways to change the angle.
