IF the only factor you are taking into consideration is rounds downrange, then the obvious answer to your question would be the latter. HOWEVER, there are numerous other questions a person must ask before a valid answer can be given.
1. Which gun do you shoot better? If you can maintain a 2" group st 25 yards with the gun you shoot 100 rounds with, but can't hit the target at 7 yards with the 500 round gun, I would opine the 100 round gun is more effective.
2. If you shoot both guns equally well, but the 100 round gun is a .380/9 mm/.40/.45/etc, and the 500 round gun is a .22lr, I would argue the 100 round gun is more effective.
I could go on, but you get the drift.
