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-barrel glider gun (firing four close glider pairs) 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. The pair of gliders can also be caught by a pond or loaf in a boat-bit reaction (which only works if both gliders are present.) This is found in most of the 92p156-based gun variants recorded in Catagolue.[1]
Removing one of the eaters produces a period 156 glider gun that is currently the smallest known at that period.[2]
