Period-690 glider gun is a compound true period-690 glider gun found by Noam Elkies in July 1996. It is composed of a p30 queen bee shuttle pair and a p46 twin bees shuttle whose sparks occasionally react with each other. This is a very compact gun for such a high period and is used in many patterns requiring sparse glider streams. It is also compatible with both p30 technology and p46 technology, allowing it's output to be manipulated in many ways.
