ive got some problems with 3 soakers

Flash Flood:whenever u pump the gun water leaks out through the normal nozzle and whenever u fire with the normal nozzle it fires witha distance of around 1 foot.

Helix:whenever u move the pump forward it always comes back to u and fires a very small amount of water.

CPS:4100: its fine except that whenever u try firing with the smallest of the 3 nozzles the entire tank leaks water all over the ground in front of u. also ive noticed a little crack in the space under the nozzles.

Flash Flood - your nozzle valve is stuck open, thus not holding pressure... if toggling the trigger isn't closing the valve fully, you'll need to open it to do a trigger-mechanism repair.

Helix - sounds like your pump intake is jammed and not pulling in water properly. You might first try letting your soaker sit a bit with warm, soapy water in the reservoir in hopes to loosen whatever stuff is clogging it, then try pumping again. If that doesn't work, there are other things that can be tried, but are more involved.

CPS4100 - it is possible your nozzle selector is loose and just not sealing properly against the opening on the body of the soaker. You might want to check how well fastened the selector is first.

I'm guessing you don't know how to do a trigger mech repair, so here's a few links:
