AR2 Alt-fire Ammo With Particle FX

Description
In Ep2, Valve replaced the old AR2 alt-fire ammo model with a bigger, blander looking metal case.

Only it wasn't always meant to be so bland. A tiny energy ball would be placed inside - the model has one attachment for it, and the particle fx was made.

It never happened.

The commentary in Valve's QC script says: "no time to code fix the attachment problems so the particle system is going away for now".

Since then, particles attached to models must've been fixed - it works now. They never went back to re-add it.

The model includes animation textures similar to the AR2 orb.

The AR2 mag pickups dont match the one in the weapon model so some mods out there correct it, the first one that comes to mind is this one [gamebanana.com] but I personally would love to see a standalone version of this one [gamebanana.com] without the weapon model, it resembles HL:Alyx pulse pickups and make more sense than the mags since we dont really change it in the AR2 reload, tho the ammo crate will be innacurate.
