Well, the AAs SGnerf posted about had 900mAh, and since they were in series the total mAh will stay at 900. 9volts range between 160-600 mAh, they change depending on chemistry. Now, if you got two with around 500 and wired them in parallel (This would add their capacitiess) you could play for even longer then SGnerf. (I, personally, am experimenting with two 600mAh lithium 9volts. Early results are while I will get more voltage and time of play, probably not enough to offset increased cost and work from SG's design.) Or even if you just stuck one in around 400-500 you could do short games or use it as a sidearm only. However, if you pick up one with 160mAh even minimal play would see voltage dropping.

So you can certainly use 9volts, if you want a lot or a little play. You just have to be aware of what you are buying and how you want to use your gun.

Ammo wise, do you think perhaps using stefans with tape on the end covering 1/3rd to 1/2th the dart? That way it is never pushed by the fly wheels, only pulled. Seems to me like that might help accuracy (and dart life?).

I was considering one of these, but with all the lack luster reviews of the gun I'd just buy another barricade instead.
