spez. This may be fake news. It seems like the interval between shots doesn't really matter and it's the total number of shots that matters. Also the total number of artillery guns doesn't matter either as long as 21 total shots are made. Presidents get 21 shots while others will get lesser number. For example, VPs or foreign dignitaries get 19 shots.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiNAly9CKSs - Biden, seems like 3 guns and 10 second intervals is correct.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFX_7IR91Vk - Trump, 4 guns and 3 second interval
Well done, military is in control?
Remember that January 11th date that was edited in the secretary of state website as Trump's last day? They later said it was a rogue employee
Anyway, go to the Q post from January 11, 2019. VERY interesting proof imo
By then Biden policies would be disastrous .
Forgot to look for handshake
Nicely stated
the 2nd video is from 2017 =\
*Oh nvm, it's a comparison during that same timeframe for Biden, showing that he got a different salute
Based on this video, I heard only 17 cannon shots.

Base on screen shots of the rounds magazine before and of the last scene I counted 19 missing rounds. Two are the right gunner's hands. Did Biden only get 17 gun salute?
According to this document:

That's:
Interesting.

All I want to know and am hoping someone can confirm this is WHEN the 21 gun salute is given? I watched the inauguration at the Capitol. I thought the salute was always given during the ceremony. Can someone military or who would be in the know confirm this.
The fact they fired off the gun in Arlington Cemetery just made me wonder if this was normal or not to do this after the ceremony but not during,
"Immediately after the presidential oath, the United States Marine Band will perform four "ruffles and flourishes", followed by "Hail to the Chief", while simultaneously, a 21-gun salute is fired using artillery pieces from the Presidential Guns Salute Battery, 3rd United States Infantry Regiment "The Old Guard" located in Taft Park, north of the Capitol. The actual gun salute begins with the first "ruffle and flourish", and "run long" (i.e. the salute concludes after "Hail to the Chief" has ended)."
Per wikipedia...
Recall the awkward pause after he was sworn in (2:52:10 onwards https://youtu.be/39vj3oALMDM)... I didn't hear a 21 gun salute... 21 rounds at 3 second intervals should have taken at least 147 seconds (2 min 27 sec), which would be until 2:54:37. There is complete silence from 2:53:07-2:54:3# (until klobuchar speaks) where no 21 gun salute occured during the ceremony when it was expected...
The military stiffed them hard & the military doesn't make ceremonial blunders like that by accident...
ThanQ.. I knew the entire ceremony was odd. And you are right, they didn't sing the Hail to the Chief either.
O rly ? that's odd
The band DID play it. Go wat for yourself.
Well... it was very low energy so there's that.
Trump had 4 cannons. Biden had three cannons.
I guess you could sort of get confused about volleys and salutes. I’m not military.
Three volleys is for funerals and foreign visitors that sightsee for a few days. But a volley isn’t done with artillery.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-volley_salute
They're actually different things anon.
I debunk your debunk, Mr 1 day old account
Not only interval but the amount of guns. For example POTUS had four guns for his send off and Biden had three. Did anyone hear "Hail to the Chief" after Biden was inaugurated? They played it at POTUS's sendoff.
Good comparison here: https://greatawakening.win/p/11SJxw1Evr/21-gun-salute-comparison-bidenin/
Actually debunked or someone disagreed and offered a reason for their difference of opinion?
Was it? I just saw this. Can you link?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21-gun_salute#United_States
You may be right, I can't find anything about number of guns and interval bt shots.
No, I think you're right. The interval is meaningless, it's just the number of shots fired in total that matters.
'The interval is meaningless'
That is false...

Already cited by 'Wexit-Delecto' in this post's comment thread.
"Cannon salutes to persons. (1) The time interval between rounds in a cannon salute will be three seconds except as follows: (a) When honors are rendered at funerals, in which case the cannon salute will be fired at five second intervals. (b) When such interval is in conflict with prescribed safety regulations for the type of cannon employed. (c) 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."
Edit: & as 'Jlin' stated - they have two people with stopwatches for a reason...
I'm confused so did biden get 19 and does it even matter?
I didn't count in the video but the commentator says it's a "21 gun salute" so I'll just take his word for it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwvbQR887W0&t=8h12m15s
It's honestly impossible to tell because it is not one continuous shot of the guns shooting but I think I counted around 20 shots and maybe there was 1 I missed.
