DESIGN NOTES The arsenal listed was not meant to be exhaustive. A frequent substitution would be a shotgun or sniper rifle for the assault rifle and a machine pistol for the heavy pistol. Since the arsenal is equipment, this is routinely done between adventures. In some appearances, the Punisher uses high tech weaponry, but I think it’s somewhat irregular. This build of the Punisher is much closer to street vigilante than super-antihero, as is probably the case in most of his recent appearances; he is merely very good in close combat and his aim is a bit short of superhuman.
