The Wraith stunner is about the same as a standard 9mm handgun in both size and use. The zat is a little larger when deployed, but it folds down when not in use to a similar size. Both are easily concealable.
As far as ammunition is concerned, the zat should be fine - it's powered by a quartz-like mineral called naquada, which has been known to produce massive amounts of power for an extremely long time. The stunner I am not so sure about - my people discovered them more recently and we hadn't had time to do more extensive research on their design or power source. So far, none of my people have reported a problem with running out of power, but they have not been part of our basic offworld gear for more than a few months, so I can't be certain. I'll bring along my sidearm as backup.
