Daredevil replies by showing him just how superior he is to him in every conceivable way. Daredevil steals two of Frank’s guns and uses his sonar vision to perfectly hit every piece of explosive in his hideout with every shot he takes, proving to the Punisher that if he wielded weapons, Daredevil would be unstoppable.
