What in the name of Kalashnikov is he supposed to be holding? Looks like an applicator for a weed killer.

Uh? Byrne rarely drew the Punisher, but when he did he was the usual buff guy.  I suppose that in the pin-up he wanted to depict him like in his first appearances (completed with some strange sci-fi gun) |

I'll give points to Byrne for putting in the little details of the Uzi, as he has the foregrip correct, the scale approximately right and the general shape and even the detailing on the barrel lug. he obviously actually took the time to research what he was drawing, to do it accurately. A lot of comic artists would dash out an approximation or just plain make something up. Perez used to drive me nuts with some of the most improbable firearms in comics....until the Image crowd and their lesser brethren, in the 90s, with their Lego Guns. I remember looking at the origin story of Deathstroke and cringing at what Perez drew for US Army rifles...the time frame would have said M-16s; but he drew something like Frankenstein had built it out of an M-1 and about 12 other rifles, creating a monster firearm. Byrne's only issue is he forgot the shoulder stock, though, you could argue that the Punisher removed it; but, a trained Marine and combat veteran like Frank Castle would aim from the shoulder, even with a submachine gun. Only Hollywood fires weapons like that.....and idiot crooks and street punks.
I'll deduct points for falling for the same nonsense as just about everyone in comics in thinking that Kevlar is totally bullet-proof and that the blunt force trauma of high caliber rounds, at point blank range, don't injure the person under the vest. A .45, at that range, is going to hurt like a mo-fo, assuming it doesn't penetrate the Kevlar. Not all vests will stop rounds of a .45 caliber and most won't stop higher, without added plates. Even if the bullets don't penetrate, the kinetic energy hitting the vest isn't dissipated, and can break bones. The Punisher would be lucky if he didn't have a piece of a broken rib puncturing his lung.

Now that I think about it, the characters in his comics were always quite talkative. But while I don't mind a talkative Reed Richards, it's a little strange seeing Castle explaining EVERYTHING in every detail to someone he is going to kill. |

In this video they tried a bulletproof suit like the John Wick's one I have to say that it is very intervistino and I learnt a lot of thing about kevlar and bulletproof material (or, as they wanted to emphasize: "There are no bulletproof materials, there are materials that are more or less resistant to bullets"). |

The thin Punisher reminds me a lot of Byrne's Punisher.
