Period-184 glider gun is a true period 184 double-barrelled glider gun found by Dave Buckingham in July 1996.[1] The engine in this gun is a Herschel descendant. Unlike previously discovered glider guns, the reaction flips on a diagonal so that both gliders travel in the same direction. This is the fourth smallest known gun by population, after the period-156 glider gun, Gosper glider gun and Simkin glider gun, and is the highest-period among them.
On June 11, 2019, Jeremy Tan found a 15-glider synthesis for a variant of this gun with stable supports,[2] which was improved to 13 gliders on July 27, 2021.[3]
