***I’ll have to go look up the video as I don’t recall exactly how it went. If it’s for POTUS, it should be 3 shots by 7 riflemen.

But they can also do it is common to do it by cannonade instead of riflemen.

IIRC, the 21-gun salute is typically done with cannon, where they are fired 21 distinctly separate times. i.e. BOOM - pause - BOOM - pause, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN1zIJc8PUU

The 21 gun funeral volley is typically done with 7 riflemen firing 3 volleys - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcOcJ6Pr27Q

Yes. The sequence is 1 (pause) 7 (pause) 7 (pause) 6.

For 1776.

I've only heard it done that way once....it takes a while.

Now, everyone is in a hurry.
