92P156, or Jason's p156, is a large symmetrical oscillator found by Jason Summers on October 31, 2004 in a RandomAgar search. It is actually an eight-glider shotgun with all output gliders suppressed by eater 1s.

The population can be reduced at the cost of doubling the period, by replacing each eater with a snake, or by replacing each pair of eaters with a beehive to produce 60P312.

Removing one of the eaters produces a period 156 glider gun that is currently the smallest known at that period.[1]
