Have you opened it yet? If not, here's some shots of the Super Soaker Helix Internals to give you an idea what to expect.

If it's not turning, but still shooting water, I suspect the pump got separated from the toothed rod on the inside. It depends how bad the separation or break is which will determine how easy it will be to fix. If the pump is still attached to the toothed-rod, then something inside the gear box has broken/become dislodged which would be more troublesome. Pics of the inside once you open it would help a lot.

Good luck with the repair!
