Clark, this has been discussed before on several forums. I have been playing this game seriously the last 9 years and in the game the last 35 years and to tell you the truth I have heard both sides.

Here is what I have heard and believe myself.

1. Blood is full of stuff that will cause almost an immediate stain
2. If the gun is oiled well to decently well, there won't be any "blood pitting".
3. If the gun was taken from someone by froce and blood is on the gun and left in the holster, you will get pitting...


#3 is the one I am unsure about. I fully believe it will cause "staining".

If I did a test, is human blood "more nasty or different" than an animals (cow blood, turkey etc, so I can use what comes from a steak, or is that "watered" down?)

One of the guys on the Japanese forum used his own blood and if I remember right, it caused staining but nothing else...
