Lapua pronunciation

Heard it pronounced by an employee in a vid from Shot Show. It’s the first one…LAPwah
That's how they pronounce it. When they say it there is a little of the "U" sound in between the P and the W just because of how those letters sound but it's not supposed to be enunciated much. The "LAP" part they pretty much say it just like we say the word LAP. Lap - wah. It ends up sounding a little bit line LAP- OOh - AH but LAP - Wah is the way I would write it to get someone to say it correctly. Hopefully that makes some sense
Lapooouhh. I dont add a pile of r's in burito either, idgaf how they pronounce it, i am american. Ill fuck it up if i feel like it!!!
you guys got it all wrong as usual
The name Lapua is Finnish, so the L at the front is silent and so is the a at the end
Lapua really sounds like apu

I’m just curious how people pronounce it on here, possibly even despite knowing the correct way. I already know how it’s pronounced. I mispronounced it for years
At an NRA show once, had a Swarovski rep decide for no reason to explain how to pronounce Swarovski. (I've been a Swarovski fan for years, didn't need any help, and didn't ask.)
He said, "Swore off skiing."

It's pronounced in the French Canadian manner.

LOL! Both in the poll are wrong. Is that intentional irony, or just stupidity?
The correct pronunciation is exactly like it is in Redneckese except the accent is on the first syllable instead of the second.
LAH-poo-ah, not lah-POO-ah.
You don't have to pronounce things like native speakers. I refuse to call that shithole in the Middle East, Gutter. The country is called Qua-tar in English. I speak English. I'll call that shithole what I want to call it, and fuck you. The same idiots trying to correct Quatar don't call Paris, Pear-ee, becase they're simply idiots who try to mask their stupidity by mimicking the locals to make themselves sound smart. It's poser bullshit.
The Finns making ammo don't care what you call it as long as you buy their shit.
