Hey, I have had my tippman A-5 for about 2 months now...everythings stock but used it many times. Last time i went out with the friends to play a few games the co2 wouldnt work right..I would screw in all 3 of my tanks all same thing.. i screw it in as normal then co2 sprays everywhere which never happens. Then if i get it VERY tight it only leaks co2 from like the barrel or sounds near their...Please somone tell me how to fix this so i can get back on the field? Thanks

Take it apart and inspect everything. You do drop oil in the gun every once in awhile? Oil will help prevent the o-rings from wearing down.

But the manual is available for download right here on the Tippmann web site.

Where is it leaking from? If it's coming from where you gas line connects to the bottom of the gun (not the grip) you may have a bad tombstone.
