Now... If you were moving at 5m/s already.... and shot it at the 12m/s.... Wouldnt you hit 17m/s? Can someone clear this up for me? Is this doable?

If you shot a ball 100% in the vector that you were traveling in, then yes the ball would be traveling at 17 m/s, BUT the muzzle velocity of the ball would still be 12 m/s, it is velocity at the muzzle of the firing device. Chances are that you will not be firing a ball in the vector of motion though... which means that not all of the 5 m/s will go into increasing the ball's velocity.
