At the end of the movie, Ant-Man decides to become subatomic - he goes through the back of the Yellowjacket suit. But after this we see him big enough to break wiring, electronics inside of the suit.

He said: "I'm gonna shrinks between the molecules to get in there". It means he should become subatomic to go through material. Next we see him striking wires (like it is subatomic wires, or like he became bigger again). He has not gone through the seam, he has gone through the center of the hexahedron cap. (There couldn't be a seam, because the suit should be waterproof, he was in the pool).



Best Answer

The scale of Antman compared to the electronics he's destroying, and the size of the seam he's going through, doesn't make 100% sense, but logically, it does make sense based on what we are told.

While Scott says I have to shrink between the Molecules to get in there, it's a layman's comment though instead of a 100% technically scientifically accurate phrase. He's figurative, not literal, at the time. He's not actually the size of a molecule when he goes through, but he does get that small eventually.

Scott breaks the shrinking regulator, allowing him to go smaller than it's default setting. He continues to shrink enough that he can get in the Yellowjacket suit's electronics, and starts destroying stuff. But he is still shrinking. He does as much damage as he can while he continues to shrink to subatomic levels. It's not an instant shrink. And Scott still has his normal human level strength, so he can destroy the electronics without a problem.

Edit: Yes, there are issues with the visualization. He goes through the middle of the cap on YJ's suit, not at a seam. He looks like he disappears at that size, but then looks big compared to the electronics inside. These are production errors. Notice this picture. enter image description here

Those things marked 457 likely represent a SMD resistor. 1, they are marked wrongly, as SMD resistors are marked on the long size, so the number is oriented wrong. 2, they are sitting on top of multiple traces. It's obvious someone who's not an engineer created this visual effect. The smallest resistor with text on it is a 0603 resistor, which is 0.06" x 0.03" (1.6mm x 0.8mm). Roughly the size of a common flea.

Is Yellow Jacket better than Ant-Man?

Yellowjacket's suit proved superior to Ant-Man's due to the mounted cannons on the back; however, due to Ant-Man's extensive training with the Ant-Man Suit, he managed to keep Yellowjacket back throughout their fierce battle.

Would an Ant-Man suit be possible?

No, we haven't invented the Ant-Man suit or shrink rays yet. However, Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers might have brought us as close to both as we possibly can be currently. A team of researchers from MIT have invented a way to fabricate nanoscale 3-D objects of almost any shape.

Is Ant-Man smaller than an atom?

Near the end of Ant-Man, we watch Scott go subatomic- he becomes smaller than an atom. He can't become as small or smaller than an atom unless his atoms are also shrinking in size.

What is Yellow Jackets suit made of?

Comic. The Yellowjacket Suit was a powered suit created by Darren Cross as a weaponized version of the Ant-Man Suit, made of military-grade Kevlar fabric and titanium limbs, in order to maximize the military applications of his version of Hank Pym's Pym Particles.
