If someone can get this to work, I will be the happiest little Lifenthusiast on earth.

I feel certain that some absurdly shaped sparker will be found that will work for this.

"October 5: Based on a partial result by Mitchell Riley, iNoMed completes a p42 glider gun fitting in a 32×23 bounding box, making it currently the seventh smallest true-period glider gun."

Unfortunately the 8x multiplier mechanism isn't quite lightweight enough to improve on a quadri-Snark plus a semi-Snark. Three semi-Snarks is even lower population (549 cells):

Elementary period multipliers above 4x are still as rare as hens' teeth and are definitely worth collecting However, this particular mechanism is really a doubling of a known 4x, and we already have good ways to do that.

It's mostly the prime-period multipliers that will allow for new record-breaking guns at this point.

I am still waiting for someone to find a gun smaller than Gosper's.

if you're talking about the p30 gun, i'd say you'll be waiting for a long time.
