i was thinking i could use it when im at a friends house and away from my beloved air compressor. it just uses 12 gram co2 and fills with a schrader valve. i was just wondering if anybody knows if these work well and if they are worth buying.

They work really well. The only problem is a 12g cartridge costs 50 cents. Since it is co2 you don't want to overfill the chamber. Make sure you have a guage
heres a good link:

yes, but that chart is based on a single co2 cartrage. could I pump it up to 100 psi, then fire, then repeat the process over and over, or would i have one shot and only one shot? My question is, does it seal after it is detached, or do i have to use it all at once? i know id only get about 5 shots, but its better than only one.

It does seal after you take it off. You let air in by pressing a trigger on the co2 adapter so you can take it on and off the schrader valve without emptying it all.
