The CV9035 MkIII is the next generation of the CV9030 infantry fighting vehicle. It will feature a Bushmaster III 35mm 50-caliber cannon as main armament to counter emerging threats with a computerized fire control solution
When talking artillerty "caliber" usually describes both the diameter of the bore and the length of the gun barrel, in this case a 35/50mm cannon translates into a 35mm bore gun with a barrel length of 1750mm (35x50). However, in this case it actually means that you would be able to use 50mm Supershot ammunition in the gun system, just by switching to a 50mm barrel, since it shares the same breech and loading system as the 35mm ones. Thing is, I don't think they ever started make that ammunition
@ClamTrafficJam28 you can equip the CV90 series with TOW:s, it has been done for testing, but no army have deployed it on field-units because they don't consider AT duty as a part of the IFVs role.
If you have TOW, why not Stingers, and katyusha rockets? The answer is that specialized vehicles are often better then multi-taskers.

@soldat41ghr You are almost correct, You mean that it can be fitted with a 50MM gun, not a .50 cal gun. .50 cal translates to 12,7 mm.

@soldat41ghr i think that that 35mm gun can also fire 50mm rounds with a few changes, if im correct.

@bluewolf20 CV9035 has more fire power than a bradley? because i didn't think CV9035 had anti-tanks missiles
