What about King Frederick William IV of Prussia getting shot on March 21st riding through Berlin with the black-red-golden flag?

His successor William I (OTL Kaiser) would have never been able to calm down the uprising like his brother did.
Frankfurt might be butterflied away, instead we'd probably had had Prussian Republic a bit similar to France after 1789.

I think the Prussian Army going into screaming kill-burn-destroy spasms might be more likely. It might depend - a bit - on who shot him, but even then repress repress repress is likely to be the first reaction.
