Hi there gun nuts!
seein as y'all know this type of business,
what type and callibre gun could do this to a man? (estimated range 300-400m from enemy)
.45 ACP
there is a theory he was assasinated by his own... is the wound consistent with a revolutionary era flintlock rifle or pistol?
>Charles’s thick felt hat, for instance, remains on display in a Swedish museum, bearing a hole 19 millimeters in diameter,
>or about three quarters of an inch—a clear indicator of the size, and hence perhaps the type, of the projectile that killed him

more from the article
"The strangest piece of evidence in this strange tale is a “curious object” brought into the museum at Varberg in May 1932 by Carl Andersson, a master smith. Andersson handed over “two half-spheres of brass filled with lead and soldered together into a ball, with a protruding loop that testified to its former use as a button.” One side was flattened, “the result of a forceful collision with a hard surface.” He had found the button, he said, in 1924 in a load of gravel he had hauled from a pit near his home.
According to Klein, the kulknappen fits neatly with another Swedish tradition–one suggesting that Charles’s magical protection had been breached by a killer who used the king’s own coat button to kill him."

As a gravel truck driver, you'd have never noticed it
that's bullshit

He probably used a bucket and a shovel, you know, being 1924 and all.

your pure lack of reading comprehension and understand of time is probably the reason you are a gravel truck driver and not a fucking scientist.
