Depending on the flight characteristics and just how strong the airframe is, it's possible it might be able to carry a GAU-13 gun pod, which is the GAU-8s 4 barreled little brother. The F-20 Tigershark mentioned elsewhere in the thread could carry it in a GPU-5/A gunpod and it was only slightly larger than the Scorpion. The 25mm GAU-12 from the Harrier or -- more likely -- the GAU-22 from the JSF would be more likely though.
But, yeah, nothing else is going to lug around 1200 rounds of 30x173 like the A-10. :)
