There's no magic in the script, but here it is, embarrassing myself:

         cp sample-call-file /tmp/
         chmod +x /tmp/sample-call-file
         for     I in $(seq 1 $1)
                 do
                 sudo -u asterisk\
                         cp /tmp/sample-call-file\
                         /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/${RANDOM}
                 done
 	sleep 10

Here's what's wrong with this snippet:

1) I don't know why I chmod the 'template.' No idea whatsoever. Alcohol 
may have been involved.

2) I hate single character variable names. I love alcohol.

3) cp is ill advised. For a testing script, it was easy. For a production 
application, use mv.

In use, I would execute it specifying how many call files to create, like 
50. Then, take a look at top, iftop, and vmstat. Lather, rinse, repeat to 
get to your goal.
