all you have to do is give each unit the unit fire"m16" command in a script. For some random reason, they automatically aim into the air.

in the trigger you want to start the salute type []exec"salute.sqs"
then make a text file in the mission folder and name it salute.sqs (make sure you allow view of file extensions in your folder options). Inside the script type the following:

unit1 fire"m16"
unit2 fire"m16"
unit3 fire"m16"

add a line for each unit you want to fire, and remember to name them in the editor ;)
Also, if you want it to happen slow then type setacctime 0.3 at the beginning of the script and then setacctime 1 at the end of the script.

GunnerySargeantBeckett, here at OFPEC capital letters in ordinary text are used to indicate shouting.    It is very occasionally acceptable to shout, but as a general rule we discourage it.   ;)
