Clean, one-time 90° reflector:
Code: Select all

It turns out that the U is a finite version of a c/2 wave:
Code: Select all
x = 19, y = 2, rule = B2c3aeny4a5i6i7e/S12a3ejry4etz5y6c8:T20,0

This was interesting:
Code: Select all
x = 20, y = 6, rule = B2c3aeny4a5i6i7e/S12a3ejry4etz5y6c8:T20,0

Here's a 4*8 p16 agar made by condensing waves into a staggered configuration:
Code: Select all
x = 40, y = 40, rule = B2c3aeny4a5i6i7e/S12a3ejry4etz5y6c8:T40,40

Unfortunately, two guns cannot be placed side-by side to make a twin ship gun:
Code: Select all
x = 4, y = 7, rule = B2c3aeny4a5i6i7e/S12a3ejry4etz5y6c8
o2bo$b2o$o2bo2$o2bo$b2o$o2bo!
However, there is a 5-glider, 2-step synthesis for a twin ship:
Code: Select all
x = 40, y = 17, rule = B2c3aeny4a5i6i7e/S12a3ejry4etz5y6c8

I'm pretty sure this can be used to construct a twin ship gun, but I need to go to bed now.
I'd like to know if there are any ships other than those constructed by stacks of wave ships, and if there are puffers and rakes:
Code: Select all
x = 31, y = 18, rule = B2c3aeny4a5i6i7e/S12a3ejry4etz5y6c8

22b3ob3o!
(This is technically nontrivial because it uses a B3y where there would otherwise be B2c.)
I may just as well create a new thread for this rule.
