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.
