How much blood would you lose if...?

How much blood would you lose if a bullet grazed your thigh? It was a handgun. I'm not sure of the caliber. It didn't penetrate the femoral artery or any bones. It was just a graze wound. I just want an approximate number on the amount of blood one would lose. Also, would you need to receive a blood transfusion?

Update:

It was a pretty bad graze.

    A blood transfusion isn't needed if it was treated quickly.

    It will vary depending on the caliber and how much of a graze. I would guess 0 to 250mL No blood transfusion. If you have any questions my AIM is TLom77
