I'm assuming there should be a specific "bomb" entity, and not the generic prop_physics_multiplayer. In fact you should probably never force a physics prop in that manner, unless you want it JUST to be a physics prop.

i found may a soluiton but i think its a bad one
i can place a sphere and tie it to an func_physbox it can break but i still need a prop_dynamic in this entity for the model

ps: i couldnt find a bomb entity

That is a worse idea than making it a prop_physics_multiplayer.

Decompile one of the maps with the bombs and see how they are spawned there.

Download something called BSPSource and run the .jar file, search for the bsp file (all the maps should be located in portal 2/portal2/maps folder) and click the decompile button.

I would suggest BSPSource over VMEX as it is less buggy.

VMEX dosnt work with portal2 but BSPSource works
its a new entity not impanted into the portal 2 fgd file (prop_exploding_futbol)
the animation in the tubes is made with a func train
