Super Soaker Central has some repair articles here.

The best thing to do is to open the water gun. Once that's done, pump it up to see what happens. Good luck!

Yes, it is repairable. See this article.

That's a very big hole, but it shouldn't be much of a problem. Use sandpaper to smooth the plastic around it and then cover up and fill the hole with putty epoxy. You may want to insert some object into the hole as a plug if you're using regular epoxy (which is more like glue) instead of putty epoxy (which is more like a filler).

That is quite a bad tear. From the picture, though, I can't quite tell which side of the pump that part is; could you post a view of the rest of the tubing around it?

As Silence noted, sanding and smoothing down the plastic is likely the best route to begin. I wonder, though, whether for sealing the hole you should attach some sort of plastic patch over the entire cracked area and seal it closed using epoxy and glue since the hole is so large. You may be able to use putty epoxy to seal it, but depending on what part of the blaster that is, you may need to be careful not to have any epoxy get inside the tubing.

Good luck with your repair, though, and let us know what you end up doing and how successful you are!
