Punisher: War Zone (2008)

Punisher: War Zone is the third adaptation featuring the Marvel character. Ray Stevenson stars in this 2008 action film as Frank Castle, who does battle with a mob enforcer known as Jigsaw. This film follows two other adaptations: a 1989 film starring Dolph Lundgren and a 2004 version starring Thomas Jane.

The following weapons appear in the film Punisher War Zone:

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS... Please do not touch it

Handguns

Beretta 92FS Inox (converted to full auto)

Frank Castle aka The Punisher (Ray Stevenson) carries two stainless Beretta 92FS Inox pistols with extended magazines in tactical holsters throughout the whole film. He most notably uses them in the beginning shootout. Microchip (Wayne Knight) is also seen handing Castle a couple of Berettas after Castle decides to go after Jigsaw (some dood). The Berettas in the film have been converted to fire full-auto. In the Punisher comics, contrary to this film, Castle's favorite firearm is the M1911.

Beretta 92SB

Billy Russotti's aka Jigsaw's thug Pittsy (Mark Camacho) carries a Beretta 92SB fitted with pearl grips as his sidearm, and uses it a couple of times in the film. FBI Special Agent Budianski (Colin Salmon) also takes Pittsy's Beretta during the Donatelli kidnapping.

Colt M1911A1

The Colt M1911A1 is the pistol of choice for the Punisher in the comics. He is seen disassembling and cleaning an M1911A1 in the beginning. A skinhead is also briefly seen with an M1911A1 when Jigsaw and LBJ are "recruiting". A gangbanger is also seen with a couple of M1911A1s during the hotel shootout.

Heckler & Koch USP Compact Tactical

Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson) uses a Heckler & Koch USP Compact Tactical with a spurred hammer as a back-up for his Berettas during the first half of the film. He keeps it in a tactical tight-holster. Later on in the film, he switches his back-up to a Smith & Wesson 500 revolver, as he needs something more powerful. Castle most notably uses the USPs during the mansion and recycling warehouse shootouts. Micro's ex-gangbanger friend Carlos (Carlos Gonzalez-Vio) also purchases another one of these pistols from an acquaintance (as part of Microchip's unofficial "buy-back" program). Castle then holds the USP on Carlos' throat in Micro's apartment, as he is not aware that he is one of the good guys.

AMC Auto Mag Pistol

Carlos (Carlos Gonzalez-Vio) purchases a AMC Auto Mag Pistol, among other handguns, from a fellow gangbanger before carrying them back to Microchip. The gun seems to be a rib-less version of the .44 Automag.

SIG-Sauer P230

Pittsy's son, Ink (Keram Malicki-Sanchez) carries a SIG-Sauer P230 as his sidearm throughout the film. He most notably uses it at the recycling warehouse to shoot at Castle. He also pulls it on Christu Bulat's bodyguard during the meeting.

Smith & Wesson Model 500

Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson) uses two Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolvers during the course of film. The first one he uses is a plain version with an extended ejector shroud. Halfway through the film, Castle switches his USP Compact Tactical to the plain Model 500, and carries it in the tactical leg holster. He is most notably seen using it when he is looking for Micro in his apartment. The other Smith & Wesson Model 500 Castle carries is a Smith & Wesson Performance Center version of the gun. It has a Knight's Armament RIS setup, a tactical flashlight, a laser, and a black suppressor installed. He uses the second Model 500 most notably during the climax. During the final confrontation, Jigsaw (Dominic West) relieves Frank of the weapon, and empties three of the four remaining rounds into Frank's bulletproof vest, then tosses the weapon back to him to "decide" how to use the last one.

Submachine Guns

Brügger & Thomet MP-9

During the mansion gunfight, a wounded thug crawls laboriously towards a dropped Brügger & Thomet MP-9, while Castle is gunning down several other thugs, only for Castle to almost-casually shoot him on his way out the door, just as the thug starts to raise it.

Brügger & Thomet MP-9 - 9x19mm

The thug starts crawling towards the MP-9...

...gets his hand on it...

...and just manages to lift it before Castle drops him with two quick bullets.

Heckler & Koch MP5K

Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson) carries a pair of custom Heckler & Koch MP5Ks in back holsters. The MP5Ks have satin nickel receivers, and the guns have had their foregrips removed, making them true "machine pistols". Castle uses these custom guns during the shootout in the beginning. He unloads them while spinning upside down from a chandelier. When the guns are empty, he dumps them, and we don't see them again. Some triads are also seen using plain MP5Ks during the hotel shootout.

AR-15 variant

Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson) has a custom M4A1-type carbine in his armory, which he uses most notably during the hotel shootout. The carbine is equipped with KAC Quad-rails, a C-More red dot optic sight, an Advanced Armament Corp M4-2000 suppressor, and a short-barreled AG36 grenade launcher. The grenade launcher is actually an airsoft prop. The rifle is referred to by the Armorer on the behind-the-scenes feature as an M4 with a short barrel. It appears to be a short-stroke piston upper of some type, but IMFDB has been unable to identify the specific make/model. Note: It is NOT a Heckler & Koch HK416 as some have speculated.

Shotguns

Franchi PA3

When Jigsaw goes to terrorize the Donatellis, Ink ((Keram Malicki-Sanchez) carries a Franchi PA3 shotgun, which Jigsaw (Dominic West) uses to threaten the Donatellis and force Agent Budianski (Colin Salmon) to surrender. When Ink drifts into a back room, Castle kills him, takes the shotgun, and later uses it to blow Pittsy's head off.

Other

H&K AG36 Grenade Launcher

Castle (Ray Stevenson) apparently shortens a Heckler & Koch AG36 Grenade Launcher to make it lighter and perhaps handier in close quarters. Prop wise, this is an airsoft product called the AGX made by Madbull (a grenade launcher that can be mounted on any Picatinny rail equipped rifle). They have been making reference to its use in the film for some time now. He uses it towards the end of the movie, shooting some kind of air burst grenade (it explodes in mid-air).

M203 Grenade Launcher

After a member of the Maginty's gang is vaporized in midair, a stunned Maginty turns and sees Castle (Ray Stevenson) holding a smoking M203 grenade launcher, which he then switches for his Heckler & Koch SL8. Incongruously, the effects make the weapon seem like a guided missile launcher.

M4X Knife

Frank's combat/utility knife is used to perform on of his first kills of the movie, nearly decapitating mob boss Gaetano Cesare, before being plunged into the crown of another dining mafioso's skull.

This "M4X" is a custom piece made by Daniel M. Certo.

 ==Heckler & Koch MP5K==
-In one of the film's most promoted sequences, Frank Castle ([[Ray Stevenson]]) draws a pair of [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]]'s from back holsters and unloads them while spinning upside down from a chandelier in the mansion gunfight.  The weapons have satin nickel receivers, and the foregrips have been removed,making them true "machine pistols."
+Frank Castle ([[Ray Stevenson]]) carries a pair of custom [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]]s in back holsters. The MP5Ks have satin nickel receivers, and the guns have had their foregrips removed, making them true "machine pistols". Castle uses these custom guns during the shootout in the beginning. He unloads them while spinning upside down from a chandelier. When the guns are empty, he dumps them, and we don't see them again.
+Some triads are also seen using plain MP5Ks during the hotel shootout.
