I replaced the eater5 with an eater1 variant (that I never thought I'd use), and added tighter weld courtesy of LLS. This resulted in two fewer rows and one less column.

I went through the gun collection roughly from 300 to 400 looking for guns that looked easy to reduce and the following 12 reductions resulted.

Two similar guns, gun_332 and gun_498 (2520 and 3168 both down to 2494:

Those all have worse clearance than most of the eaters I just showed. The purpose of the eaters I am asking about is not to eat gliders, but to reduce eaters reacting to non-glider reactions. Side-by-side comparisons of the eaters and what I determined was the minimum safe distance for reactions near the eaters

Those are all that I am aware of. I believe that the top right one is the edgiest one that exists.

Also, minor nitpick, but i think it's better to use guntrue over gun for true-period guns since gun can include pseudo-period guns (e.g. gun_41 and gun_120 are different from guntrue_41 and guntrue_120)

EDIT: Is there a better way to compress guntrue_1184? Pulled in the blocker a bit using a simple weld

[Sokwe]

Is there a p4 which could fit in the red area and spark a corner dot at either/both yellow square to reduce guntrue_44? Probably something that can absorb the spark would work the best (like the p3 bouncer)

I think something as simple as a corner dot or duoplet sparker is likely impossible in such a small area. Back when I was first working on JLS-to-LLS, I tried this and didn't find anything. However, that was early in my tests, so I'm not sure if I set up the search perfectly to cover more interesting catalytic possibilities. If there is a solution, I think only LLS will be capable of finding it.

You can complete the gun with a second engine and an additional block, but that will not be setting any records for population or bounding box:

Reductions to some 54n guns. (I went through a while earlier and updated most instances where an older version of guntrue_108 was used)

Reduction to guntrue_919, what I think is one of my few prime-period guns, and a reminder that several guns can be reduced by a row via the newer converter. (I went ahead and reduced a bunch, this was one of the more interesting ones)
