A period-35 glider gun is any true period 35 glider gun.

The first, and so far only, true period 35 glider gun was constructed by Matthias Merzenich on December 5, 2024, based on a partial result by iNoMed and hotcrystal0. It uses a glider-producing reaction based on an odd traffic stop activated by a 0-degree dependent reflector and a V spark-equivalent produced by a p35 pre-pulsar shuttle, with a custom p5 sparker to complete the pattern. Period1GliderGun and Merzenich subsequently reduced the bounding box by replacing p5 bumpers with p7 bouncers and changing the p5 sparker to point a different direction, respectively.

On February 23, 2025 Merzenich found a p7 oscillator capable of activating the odd traffic stop, resulting in a much smaller gun based on the same glider-producing mechanism.
