Physgun

The "Physgun" or "Physics Gun" is a cut weapon from the game Half-Life 2. The Physgun is similar to the Gravity Gun except that it has been modified to be a weapon that can be used long range.

Features
The Physgun has a sort of spinning engine at the end, this "spinning engine" may be responsible f or the Physguns features. The Physgun also disables the need to be near an object to pick it up, the player may pick the object up from any range, whether it be far, medium or near providing the player is able to aim at the object correctly.

Reasons for its cut
Some of the probable reasons are because VALVe was trying to point out that there was only one Gravity GUn, nothing else. It could also be that this made gameplay too easy. There could be many reasons for its cut.

Popularity
The Physgun has been featured in popular mods such as SMOD and Garry's Mod. It's functions remain the same except for the ability that the Physgun is now able to freeze objects.
