History

Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante-hero Frank Castle sets his sights on overeager mob boss Billy Russoti. After slaughtering most of the mob bosses in New York Frank chases Russoti to a reculing plant. There, he throws him into a glass crushing machine.

Billy is left for dead by Castle, horribly disfigured. Under his new alias, Jigsaw, he sets out for vengeance. With the "Punisher Task Force" hot on his trail and the FBI unable to take Jigsaw in, Frank must stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before more of his evil deeds go unpunished. Frank defeats Jigsaw's army and eventually Jigsaw himself.

The Punisher often customizes his weapons for greater effectiveness with both standard and custom items including magnified optics, reflex sights, night vision scopes, flashlights, grenade launchers, sound and flash suppressors, bipods, high-capacity magazines and drums and various ammunition including hollow point or armor piercing bullets.
