The Punisher (1989)
The Punisher was the 1989 action film that was the first movie adaptation of the Marvel comic book character. The B-movie starred Dolph Lundgren as the vigilante Frank Castle. The Punisher character would subsequently be "rebooted" two more times: 2004's The Punisher starring Thomas Jane and 2008's Punisher: War Zone starring Ray Stevenson .
The following weapons were used in the 1989 film The Punisher:
Handguns
Star Model B
- The vast majority of characters all carry the Star Model B to the exclusion of almost all other pistols.
Smith & Wesson 59
The thug checking his boss's house in the beginning uses a Smith & Wesson 59.
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.
[[
Smith and Wesson Model 10
Frank commandeers a S&W Model 10 to escape the Yakuza torture.
HK P9S (?)
Colt Python
Smith and Wesson Model 29
Used in yakuza raid scene
Browning Hi-Power
Tokarev TT-33 Pistol
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'.
NOTE: The 1989 film version of The Punisher was filmed entirely in Sydney, Australia and not in New York City.
Sub Machine Guns & Carbines
Uzi
- Yakuza member on the boat is seen with a full sized Uzi.
Micro Uzi
- Used by a lot of the Yakuza killers. Castle also uses one while sliding down a rope.

Shotguns
Franchi SPAS-12

Sawn-off double barrel Shotgun
- Used by Castle during the raid on the Yakuza stronghold.
