This entity is not in the FGD by default.
It should not be put directly in a map because it doesn't work properly in Steam versions of the game if not spawned via env_mortar_launcher. It's possible to use it without the entity in mod version of the game, but still easier to launch it with the entity.

grenade_mortar_small and grenade_mortar_large are model entities available in Black Mesa. Both are grenade entities that used by env_mortar_launcher. Both are mortar shells that was used as an airstrike bomb. The only difference is between these entities is the particle effects from explosion, they are identical in other stuff.

Example of the explosion effects for both versions. Expand

Explosion effect from grenade_mortar_small. Explosion effect from grenade_mortar_large.

AltNames:The grenade_mortar_small entity is also tied to grenade_mortar.

Bug:This entity is not functional if created via ent_create grenade_mortar_small in Steam versions of the game.

Bug:It bounce of dynamic (not physics) objects, such as prop_dynamic. Usually happens with objects that have a dynamic collision, or objects that are in motion.

Example. Expand

Here it bounce of this metal door. The door is prop_dynamic with dynamic collision (required for animations). Note how the particle trail looks like and note the position of the grenade.

(not in )

Note:Used model from MP5's grenade model for some reason.

Note:It explodes if hits skybox in the mod version. In Steam versions, it just disappears.
