where do you get all these cannons

We bought them mostly from other collectors.

I want one mounted on my bike in case I see someone I don't like.

An old cannon (firing a solid cannon ball) wouldn't do anything to a modern tank but bounce right off the armour. The shaped charge was developed during WW2 and replaced the solid shell as the means for punching through heavy armour.
