Its main function is to provide anti-vehicular support. The Scorpion is equipped with two weapon systems. It has a short-to-medium-range coaxial machine gun and an extremely powerful main cannon. While the main cannon can only shoot one round every few seconds, the machine gun has unlimited ammunition and can fire even when the cannon is reloading. The Scorpion has a ceramic-titanium armor which makes it invulnerable to small-arms fire, but it is at risk from enemy anti-tank infantry from within which fire from its guns cannot hit targets. | Its main function is to provide anti-vehicular support.
