weapon_cubemap is an entity available in Half-Life 2 series, 
Portal (series), and 
Portal 2: Community Edition.
This entity gives the player a set of spheres models/shadertest/envballs.mdl, each with different reflective surfaces. It is used for checking cubemaps.
The commands to get it (typed into the console) are either impulse 81 or give weapon_cubemap.
These commands are considered cheats, meaning that sv_cheats must be enabled for them to work.
You can switch to this weapon (after having received it) by typing use weapon_cubemap.
Tip:To equip and draw the weapon for quick work, developers can bind this command to a specific key. For instance, typing bind "X" "impulse 81"; "use weapon_cubemap" will bind it to the X key. (You may need to press it twice the first time you use it in a map.)
Note:
does have it in a working condition but needs the model from another gameWorkarounds
If your game does not have weapon_cubemap, rifle scopes could be used, such as the hunting rifle in 
Left 4 Dead 2, the AWP in 
CS:GO or the weapon_crossbow in 
Black Mesa, as alternatives.
Community mods have been made to implement it into games that do not support it natively:
- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive: Tutorial by TopHattWaffle and Zool Smith
- Left 4 Dead 2: Tutorial by MrFunreal
- Weapon_Cubemap (Dev Tool): A simple replacement for the assassin glock by Jofoyo
