Describe the bug

When playing P2:CE (or Portal 2) in tools mode, hiding the portal gun does not hide its particles.

Run the game in -tools mode, open any map with a portal gun in it, fire a portal (to activate the particles), and run r_drawviewmodel 0 on console. It'll appear like this: image

Any map.

I think this might be intentional to allow visualization of particles on viewmodel while being worked on. It seems to be added somewhere between ep1 and orangebox.
