I was trying to put my 12 and 20 oz CO2 tank on my A-5 but it was just shooting the CO2 out from the connection site. Does any one have an idea why this is happening?

At the same time?  Sounds like a good trick.

Bad or missing orings on the cylinders?  Badly cross-threaded ASA?

If you are having problems with an ASA or tank valve, you can drop an extra tank o-ring into your ASA, and then screw the bottle in. Sometimes this can cause the bottle valve to not open all the way though.

Thx for the tip. But when i tried that it pushed it up to much so it didnt hit to release any air to the marker to fire.
