broken soakers - need help
Well, open up the blasters if you can and see what's wrong. Super Soaker Central has some repair guides, although there are likely to be more soon.
With the blaster open, check the whole trigger system. Make sure the trigger isn't snapped and see whether the pin in the trigger valve moves when you move the trigger. Maybe the wire connecting the two got disconnected somehow.
Fill the XP Pool Pumper with water and pump - if there's a water leak you should see it. A blob of epoxy would do the trick.
With the CPS 1700 open, see if the bladder expands when you pump. Otherwise, see where the water is going.
Good luck!

An XP Pool Pumper? I've been looking for one of those! How about I take it off your hands? :p
Well, the Hydroblade sounds like it's experiencing the classic Max-D valve mess-up. The valve has stopped opening for whatever reason (my guess is that something snapped).
The other two sound like there's something wrong with the pump. There may be a bad seal. Is water coming out of the pump shaft?
If not, then it seems that one of the flow valves is broken/clogged. Not quite sure how to fix that one, though.
Hope this helped.

Can you pressurize the Hydroblade? Does the pump get harder when pumping? If so, you can pressurize the water gun and the problem relies in the firing valve. The valve probably is stuck shut as Rook noted. If water comes out of the nozzle when pumping, this is a different problem and it can be fixed with this repair: http://www.geocities.com/m15399/rubberband.html
We'll need more information than "can't pump" for the XP Pool Pumper and the CPS 1700 too. How does the pump feel when it moves? Does it feel "springy"? Is the pump drawing water? Does water leak from the outside of the pump? Does water leak from the water gun itself? Can the water obviously move into the PCs, but does it come immediately out? There are many different problems involved with problems pumping. Describe how each water gun pumps in more detail and I'll be sure to help you.

Any more info on the broken guns? And if you don't want to repair them, I'd probably be interested in the CPS 1700, but not sure yet.
Both are fairly good guns (especially the CPS 1700), and if you can get them repaired, do so. Describing the problem (with info mentioned above) would be helpful for identifying the problem.
