Soup:

 x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3-cnqy4j5e6n7c/S2-ci3-aky4einryz6c
 !
[[ RANDOMIZE ]]

The rule is named so because the bullet-heptomino is a really common c/2 spaceship in the rule:

Code: Select all

 x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3-cnqy4j5e6n7c/S2-ci3-aky4einryz6c
3o$3o$bo!

There is also this common (7,4)c/146 rake:

Code: Select all

 x = 4, y = 3, rule = B3-cnqy4j5e6n7c/S2-ci3-aky4einryz6c
3o$o2bo$ob2o!

when 2 rakes collide(or just interfere with each other) it usually result in even more rakes:(this one, in fact, seems like a chaos shooter):

Code: Select all

 x = 4, y = 38, rule = B3-cnqy4j5e6n7c/S2-ci3-aky4einryz6c
ob2o$o2bo$3o33$3o$o2bo$ob2o!

8c/292 RMOR:

Code: Select all

 x = 4, y = 28, rule = B3-cnqy4j5e6n7c/S2-ci3-aky4einryz6c
ob2o$o2bo$3o23$3o$o2bo$ob2o!

A rarer 2c/30 spaceship in this rule:

Code: Select all

 x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3-cnqy4j5e6n7c/S2-ci3-aky4einryz6c

EDIT: Even more bullets:
