Filter
A filter is an oscillator used to delete some but not all of the spaceships in a stream. For example, a blocker can delete every second glider in a stream of period 8n+4, and can also do the same for LWSS streams. Other examples are the middleweight emulator, T-nosed p4 (either of which can be used to delete every second LWSS in a stream of period 4n+2) and the fountain (which does the same for MWSS streams).
Filters can be used to make guns of high periods. For instance, the period-20 glider gun can be made p40 with a blocker, then p80 with Rich's p16, and even p160 with 68P32.1:
