    It does have gun ports. The vehicle named "Wolverine" is made by Carat Security. Here is a link so you can get more info on it.

    Thanks, so it's not an "escorpion", it's a "wolverine", and it offers B-7 protection, higher than the Sandcat, but it doesn't look like it has 4x4 capabilities. It's based on a Ford chasis so that offers advantages towards maintenance and repair.
    The one called "scorpion" on the Carat website looks a lot like the small armored truck that the PF use besides the Rinocerontes.

    It's not very pretty but it got thick skin and a mean bite, which is way better than just mounting a .50 cal on a dodge ram.

    The one called "Black Scorpion" is in use with the Policia Federal, the one the Navy presented is the "Wolverine". It's slightly bigger.

    Really good article from Wall Street Journal about Mexico socially and economically advancing despite the drug war and label of "failed state" http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000..._share_twitter
