I think the reaction can be described as a collision between a Herschel sequence (bottom), a pi-heptomino sequence (middle) and a sparked loaf:

The target object already has a 5-glider synthesis. I'm not sure whether (a simplified form of) the above reaction can "beat" existing syntheses in some context.

Left: Probably lead to useless 13, 15, and 18 glider syntheses of Paperclip.

Right: 464 gen Methuselah (Gen 1 has smaller bounding box) that gains rotational symmetry at Gen 4.

there is an old useless p1290 (adjustable) glider gun 4 barrelled using Gosper Glider Guns and p15 reflectors.

It could be useful for a detection system but other than that I don’t know what else it could be used for.
It would be an even better junk detection system if the fuse always has the same type of signal or always transferred to the same type of clean fuse.

I found in a partial dirty conduit (not shown) a reaction between 2 desynchronized pre-HF and a Block which produces a LWSS and many junks.
I isolated the main reaction that can be reduced in a long pre-Blinker + Block which produces same LWSS with less junks.

Just discovered and yet in useless discoveries. If you mirror the knightship/hwss-rake construct, the gliders produzed by the crawler/reburner are pingponged between the 2 puffers. There is both cross-polution and self-polution. The crosspolution starts a new crawler in front of the old and makes it stop.

A raked up a pattern from the old days.

The only difference is one additional Glider to get the construct a bit more symmetrical,but not to 100%. Furthermore the space in between becomes more populated.

The crux is (are) the variations of timing between the Gliders of the primary crawler and the crawler-inducing Gliders from the opposite side. This is the reason for the more or less "jagged" form of the leaving Glider lanes.

Extremely edgy H-to-B conduit (HFx192B):

I also believe that a spartan version of it exists.
