Line 25:

The M231 provides anti-infantry fire support for the M808B, whereas the standard [[M808 Scorpion|M808 model]] uses a pintle-mounted [[M247T machine gun]]. The tank's operator controls both the main cannon and the machine gun, which track together on the turret. This eliminates the need for a separate gunner as is the case with the M808C.
