SSAA - Our FREE Stories - Up in arms inlcudes this information: "In 1967, AAI produced the Quiet Special Purpose Round (QSPR) at a cost of some $70 each. In .44 Magnum calibre, this ammunition was manufactured for use by 'tunnel rats' in Vietnam. Using a specially modified 'S' series Model 29 Smith and Wesson, the cartridge fired 12 small tungsten carbide cube projectiles by way of a captured piston assembly within the case. Two hundred and fifty Model 29s were modified by having their cylinders reamed out to accept the modified cartridge. The standard barrel was completely removed, and in its place a smoothbore 'mud barrel' was inserted, which had a larger inner and outer diameter. The revolver could then be safely fired with a plug of clay or mud in this shorter (about 40mm) barrel." So, according to this source, the answer is 250. I've never seen one, even at the Ordnance Museum at APG.
