The Punisher (1989)

Before the 2004 film version of The Punisher starring Thomas Jane, there was this 1989 "B movie" starring Dolph Lundgren, as the protagonist Frank Castle.

The following weapons were used in this movie:

Handguns

Star Model B

The vast majority of characters all carry the Star Model B to the exclusion of almost all other pistols.

Star Model B Pistol, blued finish - 9mm. This is a screen used Star Model B from the 1987 film The Untouchables.

Blued Star Model B - reverse side.

Smith & Wesson 59

The thug checking his boss's house in the beginning uses a Smith & Wesson autopistol.

Smith & Wesson 59 - 9x19mm

Unidentified pocket pistol, likely PPK or Makarov

Used by a French smuggler against the Yakuza.

Modified Desert Eagle

This pistol is modified with an AMD-65 handguard reversed underneath the extended barrel.

could it be a Rossi M-851-Doomsayer64

Smith and Wesson Model 29

Smith & Wesson Model 29 - .44 magnum.

Used in yakuza raid scene

Acetylene "non" gun

Common in movies where they could not use real guns (like in places with noise restrictions, around small children, or close to an actor's head). Also New York City also has draconian anti gun laws, thus these FAKE guns which fire a 'poof' of acetylene flash and smoke are used instead of real blank firing guns in many instances. (Most noticeable in the movie the Siege when used by Denzel Washington). These fake guns look a little similar to major models of handguns (Beretta 92, Glock, M1911) but something about them always looks a little 'off'.

Thompson 1928 Sub-Machinegun

Colt Commando

Frank Castle is seen using a Colt Commando with a small silencer screwed on the muzzle while he was raiding the Yakuza stronghold towards the end of the film.

GAU-5/A aka Colt Model 610 - 5.56x45mm. This is the USAF version and was only used by them. This is NOT the E1 version, which was used almost exclusively by the Army.

Shotguns

Franchi SPAS-12

Frank uses a Franchi SPAS-12 at the amusement park.

Franchi SPAS-12 - 12 gauge

Castle (Dolph Lundgren) wields a SPAS 12 shotgun - 12ga

Franchi PA8

Mossberg 500

Mossberg 500A Mariner (18.5" barrel) with the proprietary Marinecote™ Finish and Synthetic Stock - 12 gauge.

Machine Guns & Other

M60 machine gun & 37mm Smith & Wesson Model 276 Gas Gun

In the Casino scene, Frank Castle uses an M60, with a long barreled 37mm grenade launcher mounted underneath(!!!). Talk about making your primary weapon as heavy as possible!. It's not an M203, but some mocked up launcher (see photos).

Regarding the launcher, Its probably a S&W 37mm riot gun or some flare/naval rope launcher, Something like that was used in the Chuck Norris movie Invasion USA to take place of the M203 on M16 rifles.

M60 machine gun - 7.62x51mm NATO.

DefTech 1316 - 37mm

Castle uses an M60 with a 37mm Launcher underneath - 7.62x51mm and 37mm
