Hi!

There are several things that i noticed in your scene.

Scene Setup:

1. It has some legacy render layers, that should not be a problem, just to make sure you know it.

2. You have a gravityField2 coupled with your simulation, this may lead to unexpected results (but seems to work).

3. Objects pCylinder46 to pCylinder60 have 2 Rigid Body Shapes assigned which share names with other objects, this will lead to unexpected results.

Rendering:

3. In the Render Settings activate Common -> Color Management -> Apply Output Transform to Render (then you get the same look with your rendered PNG-Files as with Render View)

Simulation:

4. To be able to render a bullet animation with Mental Ray, or to render individual frames, the simulation should be baked or exported.

a) with all simulated objects selected Edit -> Keys -> Bake Simulation

or

b) create an Alembic Cache File

Here's a link to an Autodesk website that I found worked when I had trouble getting Batch Render to work:

Basically, you delete / rename your Maya user prefs and scripts folders and restart Maya.  DO NOT SELECT COPY OLD PREFS!!!
