Why did Biden receive a 21 gun salute at Arlington National Cemetery with only 3 cannons, and not at the Capitol? Every other incoming President has received a 21 gun salute in the Capitol, with 4 cannons, during their inauguration...

Seriously, watch the videos from past inaugurations. 4 cannons, at the Capitol, short (3 second interval) between each shot, for the 21 gun salute:
