Why are there 3 rounds placed in the flag at military furnals?
To represent the 3-gun salute. Each firer shoots 3 rounds in volley. If there are 5 honor guards, then it appears that there is a 15-gun salute, but each fired weapon doesn't count as 1. Many confuse a 21-gun salute with having 7 or even 21 guns, but in reality there is a battery of field artillery pieces.

What is the origin of the 3 volley salute in military ceremonies?
The 3 volley salute is an adaptation of the 21 gun salute. 7 guns are fired 3 times. This is a common mistake. The 3 volley salute just happens to be preformed with 7 guns (but may be performed with a few as 3 guns), but it does not constitute a 21 gun salute. A 21 gun salute is preformed by a battery. The 3 volley salute originates from an old custom of removing the dead from the battle field to allow the fighting to continue. The armies would then fire 3 volleys to indicate the dead were cleared and they were ready to go back to fighting.

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.
