I like your reactions because you underline the effort of artists in their songs especially that you appreciate Par's bass quitar work. I don't remember many , or any reactors see the Par's great work for the band and each song. Thank you! :-)
Thank you, I point that out because I've, practiced Bismark a few times on bass, it's simple but a lot of fun, he definitely knows when less is more but does add in some cool picks and turn arounds
Now it is clear that Karl was shot by a Norwegian soldier. I have always doubted that he would have been shot by his own soldiers, he was much appreciated by his own soldiers, he ate the same food, was always at the front and took the biggest risks . Now that's what I thought too. Based on the hole in the king's skull, the bullet must have probably traveled 200 meters per second. We have Karl to thank for so much, if he hadn't defended Sweden against Poland, Russia and Denmark, we wouldn't have had any country left. Now 3 days ago it was 304 years since he fell and of course I lit a candle for him and all the Carolines who died
@@metalzonereactions Yes exactly, the researchers believe that the shot came from the fortress where the Norwegians were staying. This is what the article says, King Karl XII was shot during a siege of a Norwegian fortress in 1718. But who shot him has long puzzled researchers. Now Finnish researchers believe that the king died from an enemy's iron bullet, TT reports. Based on the hole in the king's skull, the bullet must have probably traveled at around 200 meters per second. The enemy stronghold was about 200 meters from the place where he died. Therefore, the researchers believe that it was not their own soldiers who shot him, as some theories say.
@@metalzonereactions I just have to add, Skull and felt hat models were fired from different directions and at different distances with a ten-caliber rifle and a 28 millimeter black powder cannon with bullets of different shapes, sizes, weights and materials. The models then underwent a radiological examination and were measured with measuring instruments. The wound was examined with computed tomography. The injuries sustained show that the king cannot have been killed by a lead musket ball. The felt hat that Charles XII was wearing when he was shot has a clear approximately 19.5 millimeter round hole. The researchers' data show that to cause such a hole in felt fabric, a bullet of a size considerably larger than what firing with a musket allows is required. - We were able to establish that the bullet that killed the king could not be a bullet button, as has been speculated about. And it must have been significantly larger and harder than a musket ball, says Junno.
King Karl, the young hero, He stood in smoke and dust. He drew his sword from his belt And broke forth in battle. "How Swedish steel bites, Come, let's try it out! Out of the way, Muscovites! Good courage, you boys blue!” And one against ten was set By teased Vasason. There fled what was not felled; That was his lesson. Three kings together The young man did not bid. Calmly he stood against Europe, A beardless god of thunder.

Interesting, so you mean due to the low velocity of 200 m/s it must have been a shot from far off, perhaps a stray?

The shot was most certainly a grapeshot from one of the fortress' cannons.
King Karl, the young hero,
He stood in smoke and dust.
He drew his sword from his belt
And broke forth in battle.
"How Swedish steel bites,
Come, let's try it out!
Out of the way, Muscovites!
Good courage, you boys blue!”
And one against ten was set
By teased Vasason.
There fled what was not felled;
That was his lesson.
Three kings together
The young man did not bid.
Calmly he stood against Europe,
A beardless god of thunder.
Interesting, that last line a comparison to Thor I'm assuming?
Can you please react to hearts of iron and uprising and pazerkampf by sabaton?
I will, sure! Sabaton reactions ever Friday. Thanks for watching and for the recommendations!
That song is one of my favorites.
