👉 The Philip Weapon, also known as the "Philip Gun," is a semi-automatic airsoft pistol designed for recreational use. Invented by Philip LaPierre in 1984, it is notable for its compact size and ease of use, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Unlike traditional firearms, the Philip Weapon fires plastic pellets (similar to airsoft balls) at high velocity, typically around 300-500 meters per second, producing a soft but visible impact. The weapon operates using compressed air or a battery-powered pump, and it is designed to be safe for beginners and non-professionals. Despite its non-lethal nature, it has gained popularity in airsoft sports and competitions due to its reliability and the thrill of shooting plastic targets.
