The Guns of The Punisher
Every firearm Frank Castle runs as the Punisher — across the 2017 series, his 2025 return in Daredevil: Born Again, and the 2026 special The Punisher: One Last Kill. The .45 1911 and the Micro's-armory carbines and .338 sniper rifle; the Gen 3 Glock 17 and Springfield Hellion of Born Again; and the TTI Combat Master Glock 34 of One Last Kill — each mapped to a current production model you can actually build. Researched from public sources; not affiliated with the series.
One man, one war, and an armory built in a basement.
