Yes the UK has in addition to the 21 gun salute a 41 gun salute by the Royal Horse Artillery when fired in a Royal park (Hyde Park), 62 are fired at the Tower of London for Royal events (Accession, births etc). If the Queens official birthday and the Duke of Edinburgh both of which are in June occur at the same time 104 can be fired at the Tower. Historically during the British Raj up to 101 were used in India. The US used to have one round for each State, this was stopped at 26 and reverted to 21 however the round per state was resumed soley for Independence Day. 50 are fired on a Presidents death.
