dani discovered that two of these oscillators could be combined to create a gliderless lightweight spaceship gun. An LWSS-to-G converter has just enough recovery time to turn the LWSS into a glider, resulting in the smallest known period-58 glider gun, as shown below.[2] This is a rare instance of a known xWSS gun having a smaller bounding box than the glider gun of the same period, though not the only such example.[3] A direct glider gun construction has yet to be found.

RLE: here Plaintext: hereThis oscillator's 16-glider synthesis is extremely trivial: components (two blocks, four eaters, two pi-heptominoes) can be constructed using their standard two-glider recipes without any conflicts.[4]
