A 6c/10 reaction that takes a p8 laser and turns it into a p16 one, with a delay of two generations:
x = 17, y = 31, rule = 345/2/4

Double-barrelled fireball gun, works for any period at least 25 (though I made this one p30 because for p25 the input tapes are 24 crosses long) x = 80, y = 62, rule = 345/2/4

Guns are known for every period of at least 4, but I highly doubt that this specific gun has ...

I've seen this spaceship around, is there a name for it?

In MCell this is named 'Fireball'

A p68 gun I constructed for a simple ship which doesn't have a gun in the MCell collection (though the collection does contain rakes for it)
x = 36, y = 25, rule = 345/2/4
