Wikipedia definition
2. 21-gun salute​This article is about the cannon salute. For the three-shot rifle salute given at military and law enforcement funerals, see 3-volley salute. Gun salutes are the firing of cannons or firearms as a military or naval honor. The custom stems from naval tradition, where a warship would fire its cannons harmlessly out to sea, until all ammunition was spent, to show that it was disarmed, signifying the lack of hostile intent.
