The portable jumper packs with built in compressors seem to last a while, they are cheep on ebay.

You can use a bike tire pump, the manual kind.

since he wants to fire semi auto, pumping every time like on the PPK, is not an option...
you could make a project bo with some batteries wired both parralels and series, you'd get twice the voltage and twice the current with four bateries....think about that.in that case your little 12V compressor could do the job

A car battery (fully charged, standered 650 cold cranking amps), will last aproximently 20 minutes straight running.
