HOW MUCH BLOOD WOULD RESULT IN A KNIFE THRUST TO THE HEART?

Question

I am a writer and looking for the maximum external bleeding possible.

Many thanks,

D. Ash

Answer 1

Not a huge amount, as if you thrust in the heart it would stop beating and very little blood would pump out, wife works in our local hospital and depressingly had a stabbing last month. If you want maximum external bleeding then a leg artery would have far more.
