The Punisher is the 2004 feature film adaptation of the Marvel Comics comic book series. Thomas Jane stars as Frank Castle, a former Special Forces operator and FBI agent whose entire family is massacred by gunmen employed by Howard Saint, a Florida crime lord and money launderer. Castle soon returns to seek vengeance on Saint and his followers. An extended cut of the film was released on video in 2005. This was the second of four different adaptations featuring the Frank Castle character including 1989's The Punisher, 2008's Punisher: War Zone and the 2017 MCU Netflix standalone web series.

The following weapons were used in the film The Punisher:

Pistols

Colt M1911A1 (Customized)

Frank Castle (Thomas Jane) uses a pair of heavily customized 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 other notable features are their Novak night sights, the Smith and Alexander extended magazine wells, combat hammers and combat triggers, Kings Gun Works extended slide stops and extended slide releases, as well as Ed Brown Memory Grove beavertail grip safeties, and front cocking serrations. The leg holster is a custom Blade-Tech Tactical Thigh Holster.

An E-mail from the current owner of the guns explains: "The pistols are 1911's and the slide is marked COLT'S GOVERNMENT MODEL. The sight attached to the slide is marked NOVAK'S upside down. The slide is the same shape as a normal 1911's but on the sides towards the left and right there is a grid design".

Beretta 92FS Inox (flashpaper)

Howard Saint (John Travolta) is seen using a Beretta 92FS Inox "Flash-paper" 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, and as such is listed separately from the real Inoxes used.

Flash-paper 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 flash-paper Beretta.

Saint tries to draw his flash-paper 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 employed by the Saint family. The most notable user is Dante (Marc Macaulay), who tries to draw it when facing Castle along with Spoon (Terry Loughlin) at his side in the lobby of the Saint building.

Beretta 92FS Inox - 9x19mm

A money launderer (Jim Meskimen) in the Saint Building tries to reach for his Beretta 92FS Inox when Castle enters.

Colt Officer's ACP

When the FBI raids the weapons transfer, Otto Kreig (Frank Castle under-cover) draws a custom two-tone Colt Officer's ACP with Novak-style sights, flared magwell, slanted slide serrations, skeletonized hammer and trigger, and ambidextrous safety, before being "killed".

Colt Officer's ACP - .45 ACP

Castle as Kreig draws his Colt Officers ACP. Castle seems to have a fondness for 1911s (smart man).

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

Glock 17

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

Glock 17 (2nd Generation) - 9x19mm

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

One of the money launderers keeps a Glock 17 nearby.

This thug who later gets a paper-cutter to the head holds a Glock 17 in a strange manner.

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

One of the weapons seen in Castle's arsenal is a 3rd Generation Glock 17 with stainless slide. Sadly, he is never seen using it despite being seen preparing it before leaving to assault Saint's club.

Glock 17 (3rd Generation) with stainless steel slide - 9x19mm

A chrome-slide Glock 17 is among Castle's arsenal.

The Glock 17 is seen as the camera pans over Castle's arsenal. Note how it is fitted with a stock and a 33-round magazine.

Castle attaches the stock to the Glock 17.

Castle loads a 33-round mag into the Glock 17.

Glock 19

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

Glock 19 (2nd Generation) - 9x19mm

A thug fires his Glock 19 at Castle and over does the recoil too much (or else he's still shaky from the mine blast).

The thug tries to reload his Glock but is sent flying by two 12 Gauge rounds before he succeeds.

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 like the .45 ACP model, the USP45.

Heckler & Koch USP45 - .45 ACP

A USP45 is seen in Spoon's holster.

Heckler & Koch Mark 23

Seen fitted with a suppressor in Castle's arsenal is a Heckler & Koch Mark 23. Reportedly, one of Saint's thugs that walks into Castle's apartment is armed with the same prop, although it is never seen closely.

A Heckler & Koch Mark 23 is seen to the left at the bottom of his customized M1911s.

Heckler & Koch P2000SK

One of the thugs in the club is seen armed with a Heckler & Koch P2000SK and tries to use it before he receives a .45 bullet between the eyes from Castle.

Heckler & Koch P2000SK - 9x19mm

This thug armed with a P2000SK gets a bullet in the head before he can fire his gun.

The thug falls back dead with the P2000SK still in hand.

SIG-Sauer P226

John Saint (James Carpinello) uses a nickel-plated SIG-Sauer P226 throughout the film. He most notably uses it when he puts a bullet in Castle's chest, claiming "This time they're not blanks".

Nickel-plated SIG-Sauer P226 - 9x19mm

John Saint executes a woman with his SIG-Sauer P226...

...which stovepipes on the second shot.

John's SIG-Sauer P226 is seen in his shoulder holster as he beats on Castle.

Castle has a flashback of when he is shot in the chest. The bullet apparently just missed his heart.

John becomes pinned under a book-shelf when Castle assaults the club and his P226 is just out of reach. Note double stack bulges.

Walther PPK

Bobby Saint (James Carpinello) keeps a stainless steel Walther PPK as his weapon. He is killed before he ever gets a chance to use it.

Walther PPK - .380 ACP

Bobby Saint sits at the bar in the dance club with his Walther PPK next to him (extended cut).

Bobby tries to de-escalate the situation and gets mowed down for it.

Bobby lays dead with his Walther PPK at his side.

Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 66

When Castle is "safe-guarding" his apartment, he places a stainless steel Smith & Wesson Model 66 into a custom made drawer launcher, which kicks out the drawer when the counter is tapped. Castle tries to grab this gun when he is attacked by "The Russian" (Kevin Nash), but he grabs a weight and smashes the barrel flat.

The weapon crushed by Kevin Nash in the film was a real S&W Model 66 that was actually destroyed just for the film.

A Smith & Wesson Model 66 in .357 Magnum that was destroyed for The Punisher. This is the actual gun that was smashed by The Russian in the movie, as you can tell by the barrel.

While it is blurry, you can see the S&W Model 66 is clearly crushed before The Russian smashes it.

Castle looks at the bent Model 66 in dazed disbelief.

Dan Wesson Model 744 VH

Harry Heck (Mark Collie) ditches his Street Sweeper shotgun when Castle totals his GTO and gets out, armed with a rare 8" compensated barreled Dan Wesson Model 744 VH. Castle pulls out a spring loaded stiletto (basically an amateur ballistics knife) and fires it into his neck before he can use it. Castle than takes the revolver and leaves in Heck's Satellite.

Smith & Wesson Model 627

Castle is seen in the extended cut giving Jimmy Weeks (A. Russell Andrews) a Smith & Wesson Model 627. Weeks takes the gun and tries to kill Castle, but the gun is empty. Castle gives Weeks a single bullet and watches as he commits suicide for ratting him out to Saint and having his family killed because of it.

The officer on the right fires his MP5SD5.

Intratec TEC-9

Some of the hitters who help massacre Castle's family are armed with Intratec 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.

Intratec TEC-9 - 9x19mm

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.

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 - 9x19mm

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

Another shot of him firing the SPP.

A half-dead thug holds an SPP in the club.

IMI Micro Uzi

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

IMI Micro Uzi - 9x19mm

Dante (Marc Macaulay) shoots a man trying to escape on a boat with his Micro Uzi.

Shotguns

SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper

Harry Heck (Mark Collie) is seen using a SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper to fire shots at Castle's Pontiac GTO, but he luckily has metal shields that slide up over the windows to protect himself.

SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper with short barrel and top folding stock - 12 gauge

Harry Heck fires his Street Sweeper at Castle in his GTO.

Heck fires the Street Sweeper at Castle as he drives away.

Ithaca 37

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 body armor from less than 10ft away. Though this might seem impossible, a level IIIA Vest can easily withstand shots as powerful as 00 Buckshot.

Ithaca 37 Nickel model with extended magazine tube and pistol grip - 12 gauge

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

Lincoln fires his Ithaca 37 into Castle's vest.

Ted Williams Model 21 Deluxe (Sawed-off)

When Saint's men massacre Castle's family, one of the assassins is armed with a sawed-off Ted Williams Model 21 field shotgun with a cut down ribbed barrel and stock. Castle picks up the same Ted Williams and tries to save his wife and son. Castle fires off four shots, which pattern like buckshot rounds, before running dry.

Punisher Ted Williams Model 21 cut down to a Short Shotgun - 12 gauge. Note the forearm engraving, the J.C. Higgins Model 21 is usually a plainer design.

A hitter looks for hidden family members with his sawed-off Ted Williams Model 21 at the ready.

Castle fires his captured Ted Williams Model 21 at the hitters in the Ford Pickup.

Castle chambers a fresh round as he gets shot.

The action of the Ted Williams Model 21 appears to have engine grooves and the wooden forend has more fanciful engraving than the virtually identical J.C. Higgins Model 21.

Castle pumps the Ted Williams Model 21, and clearly no fresh round chambers.

CLICK! Castle's Ted Williams Model 21 goes empty when he needs it the most.

Trivia: When Castle first begins firing, he racks the shotgun, ejecting a live round from the chamber, which would have greatly helped him out when he faces the men as they exit the truck.

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 Cruiser, 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.

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

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

Castle and Castle Sr. fire their S/S311As.

Castle takes aim with his 311A. Someone seems to have dented the barrel more than half-way down the gun.

Castle wraps the 311As in a rug when he arms up after the massacre.

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 the thugs with it.

Sawed-off Savage/Stevens 311A - 12 gauge

Castle checks the chamber on his sawed-off 311A.

Castle runs a bore mop through his sawed-off 311A.

Castle fires his sawed-off 311A in the club, and of course, send the thug flying off his feet.

Rifles

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 four suitcases loaded with Heckler & Koch G36C assault rifles. I didn't bother adding all four suitcases because it looks like they just reused the same shot four times and flipped it twice.

Heckler & Koch G36C - 5.56x45mm

Kreig's thugs open up the briefcases loaded with H&K G36Cs.

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.

M4A1

FBI agents making the illegal weapons bust at the beginning of the film are armed with M4A1 Carbines. Frank Castle is later seen using one fitted with an M203 grenade launcher and an Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight when assaulting Howard Saint's club Saints and Sinners. He loses use of this weapon when a bad guy's bullet hits the receiver and ruins the gun.

Castle checks the bottom floor of the club with his M4A1. It seems smarter for him to use his bow as to not break stealth before facing the mass on the second floor.

Others

RM Equipment M203PI

Seen next to the M203 launcher in Castle's arsenal is what appear to be an early model standalone RM Equipment M203PI grenade launcher. Only the rear of the launcher is clearly visible, but the retractable stock which conforms to the rear of the pistol grip identifies this as an early M203PI standalone launcher.

RM Equipment M203PI with standalone "Universal" stock in pistol configuration - 40x46mm. This is the current production model.

Schematic of the early model of the standalone version of the M203PI which differs from current production models by having a sliding stock and ventilated sighting rib, and lacking a MIL-STD-1913 rail.

M18A1 Claymore

Castle has an M18A1 Claymore anti-personal mine among his arsenal, and uses one with a beeper detonator to blow up one of Saint's money transporting boats.

John Saint picks up one of Castle's Claymore Mines. Note how it has a beeper detonator with a "555" number.

John realizes what the Claymore is and dives off the boat, just barely escaping.

M67 "Baseball" Hand Grenade

Among the weapons in his arsenal, Castle has a handful of M67 hand grenades, one of which he keeps attached under the sink in his bathroom. He also keeps a switch near by which shuts the door so he can throw the grenade out and shut the door to protect himself from the blast. This technique proves ineffective when he tries it on The Russian, who uses a pipe like a baseball bat and whacks the "baseball" right back into the bathroom. Castle just barely makes it into the bathtub to avoid the blast.

Four M67 Baseballs are seen in Castle's arsenal as the camera pans over.

To Castle's horror, the grenade comes right back into the bathroom, ready to blow.

M203 Grenade Launcher

Castle's M4A1 is seen fitted with an M203 grenade launcher, which due to such close proximity battles is never used during the shootout in the club. The original movie poster also prominently features Castle holding an M16A2 fitted with an M203.

M203 Grenade Launcher - 40x46mm

Castle closes the breach on his M203.

Unknown AP Mines

Castle brings some Anti-Personnel (AP) mines with him to assault the dance club. One he plants on the main entrance, which is set off when someone tries to run out. The second mine he sends up the dumb-waiter hidden in a wine bucket. When the henchman goes to pull the wine out, the whole rooms blows up. The last mine he uses to leave John Saint at the mercy of his own willpower. He claims the AP mine weighs 8lbs, which isn't much, but then he outstretches his arm and ties the fuse to a hanging piece of insulation. He then says how holding that mine up with an outstretched arm would be a "hell of a work out". The mine appears to be made from a PX-available soap dish, some wire, and a blinking light, controlled by a 555IC timer chip. No Current US Mine is in this shape (it is ineffective, ballistics-wise; the fragmentation pattern would only cover a limited area), or in this style- No U.S. issue mine has a blinking red light, which would give away it's position.

Castle plants an AP mine on the front entrance of the dance club.

A henchman pulls out the wine bottle from the bucket, unbeknownst to him it is rigged to an AP mine.

The henchman than activates the mine and blows the room to hell.

Another henchman tries to run out the front door and sets off the AP mine, making yet another devastating explosion to the building.

Castle puts the AP Mine in the pinned down John Saint's outstretched arm.

A close-up of the mine in John's hand.

Unknown Remote Mines

Castle brings an unfathomable number of Remote Detonation mines with him, which he plants on all the cars in the parking lot. When he sets them all off, a sky view reveals "The Punisher" skull drawn with flame. Again, it appears a soap dish with double-sided adhesive tape was used, it is possible for a charge like this to be contained in a soap dish. A mixture of plastic explosives, oil, and thermite powders of appropriate size would fit in this size container with a cell-phone activated detonator. All of which could easily be programmed to fire on the same signal.

Castle checks the remote mines in his arsenal inventory.

Castle plants the mines under the cars. They appear to stick using magnets.

After blowing up the cars in the lot, the sky view reveals this.

ANIMATED SEGMENT

An extra on the extended cut is an animated segment built to illustrate the deleted scene of Frank Castle serving in the Gulf War, during a battle in Kuwait. The following guns are seen in this segment.

Behind the scenes note: The weapons used in the flashback animated sequence were a mix of airsoft, metal replica, and a few real guns. The soldiers shot on green screen were airsofters, not actors, and not real military.

Pistols
