The Scorpion's standard secondary armament is a mounted [[M247T machine gun]], capable of firing 7.62mm armor-piercing rounds at a very high rate. Along with its offensive capabilities as an anti-vehicle platform, the M808C also fills an anti-infantry role; its machine gun can eliminate heavily armored and shielded targets at medium range.{{Ref/Reuse|visual}} | The Scorpion's standard secondary armament is a mounted [[M247T machine gun]], capable of firing 7.62mm armor-piercing rounds at a very high rate.
