Still, they'd be one of the more outright powerful weapons available to a small unit like Londo Bell, which in and of itself is pretty horrifying. Though I suppose it'd be faster and easier to provide them with nuclear weapons than a fleet with firepower enough to actually eradicate a body of Axis' size.

Yeah, I remember most of them getting destroyed by Neo Zeon, and I think there were some fake nukes in there too.

I've heard people complain how the repair of Gryps 2 in Unicorn creates a giant plothole in Char's Counterattack of "Why didn't the federation use Gryps 2 to destroy Axis?" But I don't think Gryps 2 would have had the power to have destroyed Axis even if the federation had lined it up in time. We see stuff like Colony lasers destroy fleets of ships,but those are miniscule compared to the layers and layers of rock and renforcement Neo Zeon probably put into Axis
