Period-51 glider gun is a glider gun found by Nico Brown on November 2, 2022.[1] In terms of its 29 × 38 bounding box, it is by far the smallest known gun of this period.
It can also be capped with eater 1s to produce a period-51 oscillator with only 84 cells, which surpasses 90P51 as the smallest known oscillator of period 51.[2]
