Here are 3 guns that use glider collisions to insert Herschels into
tracks, which emit gliders that collide again.

#C p281 glider gun
#C This uses 2 identical Herschel tracks.  In the southeastern one,
#C two gliders (SW and SE) crash to inject a Herschel into a track
#C consisting of Buckingham's 190, 158, and 77 gen moves.  At the end
#C a SW glider is emitted which returns to the collision site in gen
#C 843 = 3*281, and a NW glider is sent toward the northwestern track,
#C arriving at the collision site in gen 1686 = 6*281.
#C (By deleting some of the Herschels and gliders, this could also
#C work as a p843 gun.)

#C p281 glider gun
#C Two gliders (SW and SE) crash to form a Herschel, which enters a
#C Herschel track beginning with Buckingham's 190, 158, and 77 gen
#C moves.  At this point a SW glider is emitted which returns to the
#C collision site in gen 843 = 3*281.  The Herschel continues through
#C 112, 117, 117, 117, 77, 158, 77, 77, 156, 77, 117, 190, 158, 158,
#C 158, 158, 158, 117, 77, 77, and 77 gen moves.  Finally, a glider is
#C sent SE, which returns to the collision site in gen 3372 = 12*281.
#C (By deleting some of the Herschels and gliders, this could also
#C work as a p843 gun.)

#C p737 glider gun
#C This uses 4 identical Herschel tracks.  In the southern one,
#C two gliders (SW and SE) crash to inject a Herschel into a track
#C consisting of Buckingham's 156, 64, 117, 77, and 77 gen moves.  Two
#C gliders are emitted (NW and NE), each on a path 84 units west of the
#C antiparallel input glider.  The NW glider travels to the western
#C track, arriving at its collision site in gen 1474 = 2*737.  The NE
#C glider travels to the eastern track, arriving at its collision site
#C in gen 2211 = 3*737.
