Thanks. 150 was what I'd heard in this case.

Yes, I agree. It is difficult to comprehend how the number of un-fired rounds makes a difference to anything. In the popular imagination, I suppose it amounts to a sense of, "Oh God! Think how much more awful it might have been if circumstances were completely different from what they were!"
