The p6 bumper is a type of color-preserving periodic reflector with a repeat time of 36 that was discovered by Tanner Jacobi on April 6, 2016. Its smallest form consists of a transparent loaf, an eater, and a unix being used as a sparker. It can use sparkers of any period above period 2. The discovery of the p6 bumper allowed many gun periods in the gun collection to be significantly reduced in terms of bounding box. Using the variant below with four blinkers around four blocks and 33P3.1 even reduces it further by two rows in the south.
