That he's not president. Or he is, but they have determined him to be something else. Normally they will have 4 cannons with 3 firing and 1 as a backup. Biden had 3 cannons, with 2 firing at the really long intervals. Even if they couldn't fit one or there was another issue, they could have used all 3 to fire at 3s intervals, or even just 2.

It's called a 4 Gunn Salute, 2 fire and 1 is spear (for miss fires), 2 fire 2 rounds at 5 second intervals (4 gun salute) which is for funerals and forging dignitaries on arrival.
I saw a wiki page for the 3rd Infintary, the unit web page for the unknow soldier, vet threads and ask to pedes who did time in honor gaurds and cerimonial units or search customs and tradions of gun salutes
