I think the answer you want is hundreds of balls (I don't think they count them out, but do it by weight), which propels them when detonated in a 60 degree arc for about 270 metres. I would imagine at that range (which is the extreme range of it) they're not at a lethal veloicity or even an incapacitating velocity. Probably since it's a close quarter weapon your looking at about 50metres for lethal range.
