Those are models straight from hl2 rendered w/ HDR in 3dsmax. You can't be very intelligent if you actually believed him. They aren't even his pics; someone else (on the gmod forums) made them.
Possibly half 'heat does more damage,' and half the 'hey, cool! I impaled the guy with a red-hot piece of rebar!' factor. Both are good reasons. Also, the string thingie IS used, just very fast. It'd take a magnet far too large to hold (and one that would also attract all metal in a huge radius...
First: Most features are there. The normal weapons have been put back, and you have to use the spawn menu (Q) to switch to them. They're all based on the crossbow, so I'm sure they work underwater.
