'''Period-33 glider gun''' is a [[Gun#True-period_guns|true period]] 33 [[gun]] discovered by [[Arie Paap]] in October [[:Category:Patterns found in 2018|2018]], It consists of 2 interacting variants of [[92P33.1]]. The underlying interaction was found by [[Matthias Merzenich]] the previous day. The large [[sparker]] is necessary to suppress a spark of one of the copies of 92P33.1 that would interact with the produced glider to destroy the gun. It is the first known true period 33 gun and the smallest odd true period known for a gun.

Period-33 glider gun is a true period 33 gun discovered by Arie Paap on October 3, 2018.[1] The underlying interaction of 2 copies of Jason's p33 was found by Matthias Merzenich the previous day.[2] The large period-3 sparker is necessary to suppress a spark of one copy of the p33 engine that would otherwise interact with the produced glider. It is the first known true period 33 gun and represents the smallest odd period known for a true period gun.
