but I didnt actually count the rounds fired.
It is possible to do a 21 gun salute with 4 guns. Fire them each 5 times then fire one gun one more time.
The other day when Reagan's body got to DC I noticed they did a 21 gun salute there.
They had 3 guns but only 2 were fired, I assumed something was wrong with the 3rd gun but they kept it for show and went on anyways. They did a 21 gun salute with 2 guns.

6. The cannons, I only counted 17. The guns were right. |
|
The cannons went through the progression 4 times with one extra. It should have been 5 times plus the one.
