This rule, B34c5ae/S234e, is notable for its common swirly p104 oscillators, two of which occasionally form several varieties of natural guns:

[confocaloid]

B34c5ae/S234e has a few oscillators, but two of them stand out for being the same period and having high periods, more than 100. [...]

Here is a failed attempt to make a glider gun using both p104 oscillators. The "blinker shooter" looks promising and probably can be used for an actual gun, but here the glider fails to escape:
