The standard Phaser has a -2 to the HT roll, still way too weak. The only way to stun someone reliably is to shoot them many times, which is very much not how the TV shows work (but might be how the SFB universe has worked). Damage for the 'kill' and 'disintegrate' settings seems reasonable and matches the armour available okay.
