How do you make a ultra-compact repeating signal for dispensers?

My friends and I are working on a TF2 map in Minecraft, essentially making different weapons and abilities for classes.

One of the classes we were working on was the Engie, and in Minecraft, there's really no way to make a very compact repeating mechanism.

We already have the dispenser thing set up (dispenser + splash potion of health), but for a turret, we're looking for the most compact way to make it "repeatedly" shoot out arrows.

Probably the most compact design I know is like this:

W-W-B
W-R-T

W = Redstone Wire B = Any solid block R = Repeater T = Redstone Torch

Taken from minecraftwiki.

use a piston repeater

it works on the principle that a solid block transmits power but air doesn't moving the block disrupts/establishes the signal

This one is very compact and can shoot 20 arrows per second.

L:Lever
R:Redstone
BR:redstone on block
RT:redstone torch
D:dispenser
RP:repeater RT-BR-RT L-R-R-R-R-R-R-RP-D RT-BR-RT

I use this one. It's compact, easy and fast.

 B-R>-B D-<R-W D: Dispenser B: Block R: Repeater W: Wire
> or <: repeater direction

an easy way to make a compact restone signal that flashes if just but doing this

RE-RP>-RE
RE-<RP-RE

RE = redstone wire
RP> or <RP = repeater, arrow shows the direction

after you've made this you need to power it and quickly break and place one of the wires. the trick is to wait for on of the repeaters to shut off then place the wire. this causes it to flash from one half of the device to the other. you can do this with any amount of repeaters depending on the delay you want. i found this on a youtube video but i don't remember who it was by but this is the only design i have ever used so i hope this proved useful to anyone who wants a compact flashing signal

The fastest and most compact method that I can think of is to use two observers, two redstone dust, and two dispensers. This design takes six blocks of space, and activates a dispenser every two redstone ticks, according to my understanding of observers. Any solution that uses repeaters is likely to be slower; dispensers can face any direction. Given that dispensers will only activate every four redstone ticks we cannot fire arrows any faster without using multiple dispensers. Even the most compact designs will take a minimum of five or six blocks of spaces including redstone dust. This design is theoretically the fastest and most compact possible in the Java edition of Minecraft 1.17.

you need 3 of any blocks placed in a straight row with 3 redstone dust on top and 3 redstone torches on the back and cover those with blocks and it can empty a stack in no time
