Would you be able to use a pellet grain that's 11.57 on a gun that takes about 7or8 grains?

I assume you are asking about air guns, if so then it would be helpful if you stated the model. Most air guns can accept all weights of pellet grains as long as the pellet is the correct caliber. In other words you can not use a .22 pellet in a .177 caliber pellet gun but you can use different weight pellets as long as they are .177 for that gun.

A pellet rifle has no firing pin. It also can not fire a bullet or gunpowder. It can not be made to do so either. The pellet has no charge (casing like a bullet) it just a pellet.

Does a pellet have to be in the chamber for a Crosman 140 to fire?

The rifle will fire without a pellet, but over time it will ruin the air chamber and air piston inside the chamber. When you pull the trigger the air piston slides forward inside the air chamber compressing the air behind the pellet. At the last moment it actually slows down as the pressure builds and fires the pellet. Without a pellet in the loading port the piston has no resistance and just slams against the stop. This will eventually ruin the rifle.

Can a metal sheet stop a pellet without crushing the pellet?

Are you talking about an airgun pellet? If so, then hitting the sheet with force will deform the pellet. If it's a air-soft plastic pellet it will most likely shatter or at least crack or chip the pellet. Never reuse a pellet after it has been fired. It may damage the gun.
