That salute was not meant to be the same ceremonial 21 Gun Salute at on onset of a President sworn in. Go back and look at the salutes from Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama, and Trump. As soon as they swear in and hail to the chief plays, the guns go off in 3 second intervals.
The time interval between rounds in a cannon
salute will be 3 seconds except as follows:
When honors are rendered at funerals, in
which case the cannon salute will be fired at 5 second intervals.
When such interval is in conflict with
prescribed safety regulations for the type of cannon employed.
When such interval is not feasible
considering condition of ammunition and materiel, number of guns available,
proficiency of gun crews, atmospheric conditions, and other local limitations."
Did you watch the video you posted? Can you count? This was at TEN second intervals bud. Which is the original standard they used before the turn of last century before 3 seconds was feasible with a stopwatch like it is now. They used the salute interval which would have been used around 1871.But adding 7 seconds for a total of 10 makes me think of 10+7.

Hi Steve, do you have a source for this? I believe you, but would like to show it as proof to others.
This is what I have found so far: https://oldguard.mdw.army.mil/specialty-platoons/psb
"Cannon salutes to persons.

I too would like the source for this.
