3 volley is not 21 gunsyou appear to be confusing the 3 volley salute, executed at the grave of a veteran, with a 21 gun salute. 3 volley salute, even if accomplished with 7 rifles, is not a 21 gun salute. It is simply called a 3 volley salute using 2 to 7 rifles.

Execute the 3 volley salute facing north, if possible, over the casket. Keep your distance from the mourners. keep the volleys clean - no popcorn.

21 gun salute is done with cannon. one shot at a time, in 5 second intervals unless it is a 21 minute gun salute. 21 guns only for POTUS funerals, otherwise, the number of guns fired, 13 to 21, according to status of high officials and ranking officers.

21 guns (cannon) also fired at noon for Washington's birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day.

What customs and courtesies should be observed on an US Navy ship Quarterdeck?

A Navy Ships Quarterdeck is considered a ceremonial area and should be treated as such. No skylarking or loitering is allowed. The Officer of the Deck has complete responsibility and authority on the Quarterdeck and should never be challenged. On approach from the ships brow to the quarterdeck one must turn and face the flag (aft) or salute the flag if military and covered. One must then turn and show ID and salute the Officer Of the Deck and ask their permission to come aboard (enlisted) or state that they have permission to come aboard (officers). When leaving the ship it is done in the reverse order and one asks permission to go ashore (enlisted) or states that they have permission to go ashore (officer). Hats or headgear are not allowed on the quarterdeck unless they are part of the wearers uniform. The Quarterdeck should not be used as a passage from one part of the ship to another. If it is necessary to do so permission from the Officer of the Deck must be requested and granted.

What kind of ammo does the army use in a 21 gun salute?

To my knowledge here is no standard caliber for a rifle salute of 21 guns or less, but they seem to be most often done with older wooden-stocked rifles in .30 caliber or comparable. Also, if I am not mistaken, blank rounds are used for the salute, in which case there is no bullet.

Which hand do you salute with?

The right hand. In Israel Defense Force, a soldier gives a proper salute by streching his or her arm upwards while forming a straight line towards the right eyebrow (not touching it, just pointing at it) Also, if nothing occupies the left hand, it is most rigorous to make a fist with the left hand that points to the ground. If a soldier carries a rifle and for that reason cannot salute using his or her hands directly, there is a different kind of salute that is done with the rifle.
