item_ammo_canister
is a model entity available in Black Mesa. It's a canister that stores ammunition, used for expeditions in the border world Xen, usually delivered in a supply pod, also often found near dead HEV scientists.

- They're VPhysics objects (disabled in multiplayer mode).
- Respawn in multiplayer mode (item_weapon_ entities creating xen portal effects as well).
- No physics and collision in multiplayer.
- Model can be changed to your own via the parameter (which is not in the FGD by default, added in Enhanced Black Mesa FGD).


- Doesn't collide with other CBasePickup and weapon_ entities.
- Doesn't hide env_sprite with NewLight_Point in multiplayer when picked up, because this entity still exists.}
- Doesn't give a new weapon if the player didn't have it before (tripmines for example).
