Period 44 MWSS gun is a gun discovered by Dieter Leithner in April 1997, in a somewhat larger form. This was the smallest known gliderless MWSS gun until the construction in 2017 of the p46 gliderless MWSS gun based on Tanner's p46.

The p44 MWSS gun is based on a p44 oscillator discovered by Dave Buckingham in early 1992, shown here in an improved form found in January 2005 by Jason Summers using a new larger but thinner p4 toadsucker sparker by Nicolay Beluchenko. A glider shape appears in this gun for three consecutive generations, but always as part of a larger cluster, so even a purist would regard this gun as gliderless.
