weapon_oxygentank

This entity is not in the stock FGD files by default. It should not be placed (in Hammer) because it won't explode when shot if it hasn't been picked up before, which is a pointless inconsistency.

Code classes:

• COxygenTank
• CCarriedProp
  • CBaseBackpackItem
• CTerrorWeapon
• CWeaponCSBase
• CBaseCombatWeapon (weapons)
• CBaseAnimating (models)
• CBaseEntity (all ents)

weapon_oxygentank is a point entity present in both Left 4 Dead games. It's an Oxygen Tank. This entity is used when a player is holding it, but when dropped, the tank is actually a prop_physics with the model models/props_equipment/oxygentank01.mdl which is a completely different entity. If a player +uses the prop, it's replaced with a weapon_oxygentank in their hands. An unheld weapon_oxygentank cannot explode.
