Is it:
La - poo - ah ........
La - pew - ah .......
La - pwah ............ or some other way?

Myself and a mate have been at odds with this today so time to sort it once and for all.

It's Lap-Ja or maybe Lap-Wa as Sim G says. I got this from Nammo's press office many years ago when writing a Target Sports feature on Lapua products.
