too much booze or asparagas in urine might give other results

It all depends on the gun, if it's British it's lime juice, French then frogs, and of course sauerkraut for German guns.

White vinegar works great on brass. Mix it with something that holds moisture (saw dust, corn starch or what have you) and dab it on, and the next day you'll have a nice, green verdigris. For example, it can be used for aging the brass fittings on repro rifle slings.
