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.

Browning Hi-Power

The first version of the classic pistol, developed by John Browning and adopted by Belgium in 1935, the FN P-35 - 9x19mm. During World War II, the Germans would occupy the Belgian firearms factories and continued to produce this gun, still called the P-35, but with Waffenamt stamps. The Design would be adopted by other countries and manufactured abroad with the generic designation simply as the "Browning High Power".

Tokarev TT-33 Pistol

Tokarev TT-33 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev. Tula Arsenal (Soviet Union) Note CCCP printing around the star on the plastic grips

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'.

Dolph Lundgren fires an Acetylene "Non" gun pistol, though it might be trying to resemble an M1911

NOTE: The 1989 film version of The Punisher was filmed entirely in Sydney, Australia and not in New York City.
