Cannon balls are not actually shot (or thrown). You can read more about gun salutes here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_gun_salute

First off, what does "trhow" mean?
If you are talking about a 21 gun salute, it's a display of honor and they are honoring him just like they give a 21 gun salute to fallen US soldiers and in that frame of mind, I hope to one day get that 21 gun salute at my funeral too.

The tradition goes back to John Adams, who was a big fan of Blackjack.

I don't know. Is it because they aren't allowed to shoot him with them?
