The Punisher (2004): Extended Cut (2005)

Colt M1911A1 (customized)

Frank Castle (Thomas Jane) uses a pair of heavily customized Colt M1911A1s as his main sidearms in the film. His father Frank Castle Sr. (Roy Scheider) devoted some dialogue to the guns, commenting on how he bored the chambers, customized the triggers, and added some thread-on compensators. Some of the other noticable feattures are their Novak night sights, their bevelled magazine wells, combat hammer and combat triggers, extended slide stop safeties and extended slide releases, as well as a beavertail grip safeties and front cocking serrations.

M4A1

Frank Castle is seen using an M4A1 fitted with an M203 grenade launcher and an aimpoint M68 red-dot sight when assaulting Howard Saint's club Saints and Sinners. He loses use of this weapon when a bullet from enemy fire hits the reciever and ruins the gun.

Beretta 92FS Inox (flashpaper)

Howard Saint (John Travolta) is seen using a Beretta 92FS Inox "Flashpaper" gun, which is designed to imitate the flash and smoke of a blank gun minus the loud sound and dangerous wad which fires from the barrel. Instead of swapping to a real Beretta, it appears to stay a flash-paper gun throughout the film, so I'm seperating it from the real Inoxes used.

Flashpaper Beretta 92FS Inox.

Howard Saint uses his flashpaper Beretta 92FS Inox to execute the man supposed to be watching his son when he was killed.

Saint executes the man with his flashpaper Beretta.

Saint tries to draw his flashpaper Beretta when facing Castle near the end of the film, but isn't quick enough in comparison.

Beretta 92FS Inox

The stainless steel Beretta 92FS Inox makes several appearances in the film in the hands of nameless thugs. The most notable user is Dante (Marc Macaulay), one of Saint's hired thugs, who tries to draw it when facing Castle with Spoon (Terry Loughlin) at his side in the Saint building.

Beretta 92FS Inox - 9mm.

Heckler & Koch G36C

When Bobby Saint (James Carpinello) tries to impress his father by buying guns, he meets with Otto Kreig (Frank Castle under-cover), who shows Bobby 4 suitcases loaded with Heckler & Koch G36C assault rifles. I didn't both adding all 4 suitcases because it looks like they just reuse the same shot 4 times and flipped it twice.

Heckler & Koch G36C - 5.56x45mm.

Kreig's thugs open up the briefcases loaded with H&K G36Cs. Note how they come standard with fully-loaded smoke clear magazines.

They then open the other cases. Note how the ejection port is not on the right side and the folding stock is in the wrong direction, the instant result of reversing the image.

Colt Officers ACP

When the FBI raids the weapons transfer, Otto Kreig (Frank Castle under-cover) draws a tutone Colt Officers ACP which apears to be customized, before being "killed".

Colt Officers ACP - .45 ACP.

Castle as Kreig draws his Colt Officers ACP. Castle seems to have a fondness for 1911 guns.

"Kreig" tries to fire his Officers ACP at the officers but is "gunned-down" first.

Micro Uzi

Several of Micro Uzis are seen used by Saint's men when they massacre Castle's family. Most notabley seen using them are Dante and Spoon when they both fire their Micros at Maria Castle's (Samantha Mathis) car, and manages to flip it with them.

Micro Uzi - 9mm.

Mossberg 500 (sawed-off)

When Saint's men massacre Castle's family, one of the hitters is armed with a sawed-off Mossberg 500 shotgun, which looks to be a smooth-bore gun based on the raises ribbing for adding a sight (which is usually used for bird guns to make swing-shooting easier.) Castle picks up this hitter's Mossberg and arrives too late to save his wife and son, finding them dead on the docks after being run over. When the people who killed them pull back around in their Ford pickup truck, Castle fires off four shots, which pattern like buckshot rounds, before running dry. When Castle first begins firing, he clearly racks a live round from the chamber, which would have greatly helped him out when he faces the men as they exit the truck. While the ribbing on the barrel is usually used for bird guns, it is not likely used as a one because bird shotguns have a 2 round cut-off in the mag tub (making a round in the chamber 3 rounds, the maximum capacity allowed for bird hunters). Since the gun is clearly seen loaded with 5 rounds, it is assumed it is used precisely as a gun to fire buckshot. (Then again, most bird hunters don't used sawed-off shotguns anyway).

Mossberg 500 shotgun edited to resemble gun in film - 12 gauge.

A hitter looks for hidden family members with his sawed-off Mossberg 500 at the ready.

Castle fires his Mossberg 500 at the hitters in the Ford Pickup. Keep those eyes open, Tom!

The action of the Mossberg 500 appears to have engine grooves. This was at one point a fancy gun before it was hacked up.

Castle pumps the Mossberg 500, and clearly no fresh round chambers. He shouldn't have racked that live shell out earlier.

CLICK! Castle's Mossberg 500 goes empty when he needs it the most.

Mossberg 590 "Compact Cruiser"

When Castle goes to the Saint Building to dump all his money into the street, he takes a Mossberg 590 "Compact Crusier", which is the perfect gun to stash in his trench coat. He uses the gun to force Saint's money launderers to dump the money from the top floor and "rain 100 dollar bills."

Mossberg 590 "Compact Cruiser" - 12 gauge.

Castle points his Mossberg 590 "Compact Cruiser" at the money launderers.

"Get up.... wheel the money out."

Castle puts down his Compact Cruiser and then turns his back to them to cut open the window... with the gun still there. Not very smart thinking.

Castle forces the men to throw the money out the window.

Ithaca 37 (pistol gripped)

Lincoln (Tom Nowicki) uses an Ithaca 37 shotgun with nickel plating and a pistol grip throughout the film. It is not a Stakeout model, as it is too long. When using it to shoot Castle's vest in the dance club, he puts two 12 gauge rounds into his kevlar body armor from less than 10ft away, in which case as bullet-proof vest would do nothing to stop those rounds from penetrating. Instead, they just leave big holes where the kevlar is completely gone.

Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" - 12 gauge. (closest to model in film).

Lincoln shoots Castle Sr. in the back with his nickel-plated, pistol gripped Ithaca 37 shotgun.

Lincoln fires his Ithaca 37 into Castle's vest, which somehow can stop 12 gauge rounds from less than 10ft away!

Intratec TEC-9

Some of the hitters who help massacre Castle's family are armed with TEC-9s, which clearly have sling swivels (although these shots don't show them), which a TEC-DC9 lacks. They were likely converted to full-auto by the armorer for the film.

TEC-9 - 9mm.

A hitter approaches the family reunion party with his TEC-9 in hand.

A hitter fires his TEC-9 at Castle and Castle Sr. while taking cover behind a grill.

Savage/Stevens 311A

When the hitters begin to massacre Castle's family, Castle Sr. takes out two Savage/Stevens 311As for himself and Frank. The two both uses them to great effect and Castle scores two kills with his, one of which by means of blowing up a propane tank on a grill. They are smooth-bore shotguns because they are clearly seen loading birdshot shotgun rounds into them. Based on slight difference in the trigger guard and pistol grip/tang area, these appear to be Spanish Eibar copies.

Savage/Stevens 311A - 12 Gauge.

Castle digs out some 12 gauge birdshot heavy game loads from a Remington box.

Castle loads 12 gauge rounds into his Savage/Stevens 311A. Note the fired primer, this is a dummy inert round.

Castle shoots the Mossberg wielding thug with his S/S311A, loading it just in time. It looks like he fired both barrels at once. Ouch.

File:PunisherSS311A-4.jpg

Like all typical shotguns in movies, Castle's gun is shown capable of sending this guy flying. They are birdshot none the less. (although no type of shotgun round would send someone airborne anyway).

Sawed-Off Savage/Stevens 311A

Castle appears to saw down one of his 311As later in the film, and turns it into a sawed-off shotgun. Castle brings this gun with him when he raids Saint's club, holstered on his back, and manages to kill one of his thugs with it.

Sawed-off Savage/Stevens 311A - 12 gauge.

Steyr SPP

Several thugs in the film are seen armed with Steyr SPP pistols, which appear to be converted to full-auto based on the one instance it is seen firing.

Steyr SPP - 9mm.

A hitter finds a family cowering under a house and heartlessly executes them with his Steyr SPP.

Heckler & Koch USP45

Spoon (Terry Loughlin) is seen with a Heckler & Koch USP handgun in his holster when facing Castle in the Saint building. Based on the length of the grip, it looks the the .45 ACP model, the USP45.

Heckler & Koch USP45 - .45 ACP.

A USP45 is seen in Spoon's holster.

Cobray M11/9

One of the arms dealers is armed with a Cobray M11/9 when the FBI raids the exchange. Bobby Saint points his gun at him by mistake and is shot by him in return.

Glock 17

The Glock 17 2nd generation is seen multiple times in the film by nameless thugs but is most notabley seen used by Jimmy Weeks (A. Russell Andrews), who they delve deeper into character-wise in the extended cut.

Glock 17 2nd Generation - 9mm.

Officer Jimmy Weeks fires a blank loaded Glock 17 at Castle, under cover as Otto Kreig, to fake his death.

The thug walks by "Spacker" Dave (Ben Foster) when they search for Castle in his apartment.

Glock 18

One of the weapons seen in Castle's arsenal is a chrome slide Glock 18 3rd Generation. (while it is not confirmed as a Glock 18, the 33 round magazine and stock indicate it possibly is.) Sadly, he is never seen using it despite being seen preparing it before leaving to assault Saint's club.

Glock 18C - 9mm. Basically the same gun with ported compensator cuts in the slide.

Glock 19

One of the thugs in Saint's dance club is seen using a compact Glock 19 2nd generation, which based on the angle appears too short to be the same Glock 17 used in other scenes.

Armsel Striker

Harry Heck (Mark Collie) is seen using what looks like an Armsel Striker or possibley a Protecta (the front of the drum is not visible so it is hard to tell) to fire shots at Castle's Pontiac GTO, but he luckily has metal shields that slide up over the windows to protect himself.

Armsel Striker - 12 gauge.

Harry Heck's Revolver

Harry Heck ditches his Striker when Castle totals his GTO and gets out, armed with a BFG. This big handgun looks like a .454 Casull or some magnum powered round. Castle pulls out a spring loaded stilleto and fires it into his neck before he can use it. Castle than takes the gun and leaves in Heck's car.
