Well, I'd like to carry two water guns just because I think it'd be awesome, but it's too hard to carry two AND pump them.

So... help?

You could get a good squirt pistol like this one, or you could get a piston action Super Soaker like the Vaporizer to go with your normal pressurized gun, this way you would only need to pump up one gun.

Is that water pistol good? It doesn't look that great.

The vaporizer and other piston guns use pumps themselves (the piston is a pump, pushing it pushes out the water), and simply have no triggers. The squirt pistols are also piston, but their triggers themselves are the pump, which is why they're so weak. Back to larger piston guns, it's easier to dual wield pressurized blasters instead.

If you want a pumpless, go for a Super Charger (SC Power Pak, CPS Splashzooka, and SC Big Trouble are your options there, SC Power Pak being the best, while all three can only be found on eBay and require hoses and a QFD for filling. The QFD can be built yourself or it may come with any SC guns you get) or a battery powered gun (such as the WW Scorpion or Tarantula)

Really, it's best to learn how to use and pump muiltiple guns. If the gun has a strap, it's pretty easy to switch around, if not, you'll have to find more creative ways. You can still pump with your other hand even if a small gun is on it (at least I can), or hold the other gun by armpit, then use your free hand to pump.

For a current, non-pumping soaker, I'd recommend things like the Water Warriors Scorpion or Tarantula. Of course, if small arms are alright, most squirt-pistols may suffice, but for larger streams, battery-pumped soakers offer more "oomph".

@C-A_99: I assumed that he meant that he did not want to pressurize two blasters.

QFD guns are great, definitely. You can get an SC Big trouble off ebay pretty easily, I think there's one up now even. I have one, which I use as backup for my 2000/2500/whichever I use.

Speedloaders are also great pumpless guns.

Well I took it that he said he didn't want pumping guns because he wants to wield muiltiple guns.

Anyways, I find the batteries could get annoying, but if you do a lot of forest fighting, you'll have to build a unit as a hose to pressurize the SC blasters, or just go w/ the battery powered guns.
