If you include muzzle loaders. You can own muzzle loading black powder cannons with the right competencies. So you could probably go a few inches.

One of the collectors in our association was told he can own up to 19.9999999999999mm but not 20mm because as soon as you go to 20mm rifles then the explosive bullets come in to play and it had something to do with that, I didn't really pay much attention but he is in the process of acquiring the 14.5mm from Truvelo

Think the rounds were pretty expensive, I think $19 a pop.
If one wants to own a tank you just need a standard firearm licence even though the main armament's been rendered inoperable. There are at least two tanks for sale on TradeMe at the moment - a Centurion and a T-55. Anyway, I've kinda gone into the weeds a little but...
