If fielded, 16-carry modified rotary launchers will increase the number of 500-pound Joint Direct Attack Munitions and laser-guided JDAMs carried by the B-1B from 15 to 48, a 320 percent increase in capability. Apparently they don't have math classes at journalism school. 48/15 = 3.2, or 320% of the original amount. Since you start at 100% that means you have a 220% increase.
