Smaller period-52 glider gun is a period 52 glider gun discovered by Chris Cain on November 18, 2018, based on observations by Entity Valkyrie and Matthias Merzenich.[1] By using period-52 oscillators (consisting of a welded p13 and p4) to liberate gliders from the middle of the Herschel track, it has a vastly reduced bounding box compared with the original period-52 glider gun.
Reductions were found by Dave Greene, Adam P. Goucher, and Scorbie.[2]
