I was wondering if there is a pattern that moves across indefinitely like a glider while shooting off one or more 'bullets'. A 'battleship' :D

But I dont know the term to search for such a thing, and figured you fine folks might have a clue as to examples or search terms. Cheers!

Unfortunately, you have fallen victim to the tricks of Copycat Spam!

This is the original post of this question: https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3312

EDIT: Strange, I just noticed that the poster in fact has more than 1 post, and that other post seems to be original.

thorcaption5, if you're not a spambot, I'm sorry! But it is peculiar that you have the exact same words as the topic linked above!

For some reason I'm extremely familiar with the original thread, so...

My first reaction: Necroposting!
