True period 24 gun is a true period 24 gun discovered by Noam D. Elkies in 1997. It uses four large period 4 oscillators (two of them variants of fountain, the other two adjoined by common casing) to hassle two T-tetrominos, which react together to produce gliders.

The form on the right is a reduced variant of the original pattern.
