Considering that the US is introducing the M-1 Garand right now, I would say that now is a good time for Mexico to be developing a reliable replacement for the Mondragon.Quoted
I would say it's probably unlikely that the Mondragon was going to be developed into a solid option. Its an interesting weapon, WAY ahead of its time, but probably not going to make a useful infantry weapon.
I'll add a couple more Mounted Infantry Divisions. Note that the list does not include any paramilitary or police forces, which are quite heavily armed with all the Armored Cars and Tommy guns.Quoted
As far as size goes, that might be a bit small considering the fact that there was just a rebellion in Mexico, but not too far off I'd expect.
So it would be more of a Cavalry Brigade with an attached Armored Regiment?Quoted
In the armored cavalry regiment you already have a cavalry brigade with those so called mounted battalions. The cavalry brigades of the era were around 9000 men so basically you have a reinforced cavalry brigade, not an armored regiment.

50cal - US, 6 barrel gatling mobile & fixed

Pistols
(no idea?)
So what is the 50cal MG used by US Navy ships in this time period? It looks like a gatling, or is it watercooled?Quoted
Uhm, say what???? The Gatling design is long ago out of service, at this time period they've been gone for at least 30 years....
True, but then Mexico was the first country with a semi-auto, it just wouldn't seem right to not have a semi-auto when everyone else is strating to get them! Also most of the other priorities have already been covered.Quoted
Not a bad idea, though expensive and probably not something that NEEDS to be at the top of Mexico's priority list. After all, semi-auto rifles cost a good deal more, and they increase the rate at which ammunition (which also costs) will be expended.

I'll reduce it a bit. However the 50cal was the standard US AT gun of the time period. As such it would also be Mexico's standard AT gun.Quoted
I'm not sure that the 50-cal would be in widespread use. The 30-cal is better for most things, apart from hard targets where anti-tank rifles come in.
True, but Mexico doesn't have any 5/51s in service yet. While plenty of sulprus 25s are available and the 38 is the standard AdM shipborne 5" gun.Quoted
5"/51 is probably better off for coastal defence than the 5"/38 or 5"/25
