weapon_propanetank is a point entity available in Left 4 Dead series. This entity is created when picking up prop_physics with model models/props_junk/PropaneCanister001a.mdl. When thrown or dropped this entity is killed and mentioned prop_physics is spawned back which when shot causes an explosion that is achieved by spawning pipe_bomb_projectile that immediately explodes.

Note:To add propane tank spawns to the map either prop_physics with model models/props_junk/PropaneCanister001a.mdl can be used or weapon_item_spawn with proper settings

Note:Default model name: models/props_junk/PropaneCanister001a.mdl

Bug:Taking other carryable while holding this will drop weapon_propanetank to the ground instead of spawning the mentioned prop_physics. This entity doesn't explode when shooting it and cannot be damaged
