What mobile suit had 200mm Vulcans? At least in Universal Century, I don't think that ever happened. The Guncannon had a pair of 240mm cannons that are prominently featured on their shoulders.
There's a science fiction short story, based on the trope that people can be shrunk to incredibly small sizes, which posits that an arch-criminal has evaded justice by shrinking himself and is lurking in a hide-out on the surface of a single atom. A crack team is shrunk to sub-molecular level and sent into the molecule in question to arrest him. On arrival they discover the system is a perfect macrocosm of a planetary system, with electron "moons" and "stars" in the "sky". Even more bizarrely, they discover that seeds and plant-life from the real world have grown into forests and a whole ecology - on the srface of an atomic nucleus.
this is so wrong on every conceivable level and betrays no awareness of relative dimensions that it deserves a place here. But i can't remmeber the author or the story title.....
