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:
Castle's sidearm is a Desert Eagle modified with an AMD-65 hand-guard reversed underneath the extended barrel.
Star Model B
The Star Model B is seen carried by several characters in the film.
Smith & Wesson 59
The thug checking his boss's house in the beginning pulls a Smith & Wesson 59.
Walther PPK
A Walther PPK appears to be pulled by a French smuggler while fighting against the Yakuza.
Heckler & Koch P9S
An assassin in the restaurant appears to pull a suppressed Heckler & Koch P9S.
Browning Hi-Power
Tokagypt 58
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 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 noticeably 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.
