If you are asking about the Crosman C02 pellet pistol then Yes that is what it is designed to power the pistol.
Yes. In fact it's not recommended to leave a charged C02 pellet in a BB gun. It will eventually rupture the seals. After shooting release the C02 gas. If you have a pistol that requires a pellet to be in the handle so the grip can stay attached, then leave a discharged C02 pellet in the handle to keep the grip in place.
They are about the same, depending on the pistol. C02 has a tendency to be a little louder on certain pistols but not much difference.
Use C02 to propell the pellet
It will shoot pellets or bb's. They normally use an air cartridge.
Yes it would hurt and depending on your clothing it may or may not penetrate your skin.
When the C02 cylinder is placed into the gun and screwed in the end of the cylinder is pierced and some C02 charges the system of the pistol. When the trigger is pulled a burst of the C02 gas is released behind the pellet, firing it down the barrel. You can usually get about 40 to 50 shots from as regular 12 oz C02 cylinder.

Semi auto air guns are driven by C02 gas. when the trigger is pulled some of the C02 not only fires the projectile but drives gears that get the next pellet or bb in line to fire the next projectile.
It's OKAY to dry fire a C02 pistol but do not dry fire a spring or pump pistol or rifle. When the piston in a spring pistol compresses the air inside the chamber to fire the pellet is actually slows down as it decompresses the spring piston just before it fires the pellet out of the chamber. This slowing down Keeps the piston from slamming against the end of the chamber and ruining it. When there is no pellet in the chamber the piston has no resistance and slams against the end of the chamber. This will eventually destroy the piston and the air chamber.
It would be worth between $65 - $75. Add 20% for the box
Range is dependent on several conditions. The size and weight of the BB or pellet. The power plant in the pistol. C02, Pump, Spring or PCP. The temperature, length and type of barrel, and finally wind. All of these effect the distance an air pistol can shoot. It is different for each model.
