"Wap" is a loaded little word carrying several very different meanings depending on who's saying it. In UK slang, it originally meant a hard hit or beating. In MLE (Multicultural London English) street slang, it's shorthand for a weapon or gun — a term you'll catch in UK drill and grime lyrics. It also popped up as a crude slang term for a breast. Not to be confused with WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), the ancient mobile internet standard. Context is everything with this one.
He got caught slipping because they knew he was carrying a wap.
