I can assure you, I'll never say anything because BoLS says so lol.
Punisher is fail because of its medium S, short range, low BS, AP- and stupidly high price tag. There are a million better units to field.

I play a Marine army, and I respect the Punisher. The Punisher (with Hvy. Bolters) can easily wipe out a 5 man combat squad, or put a serious dent in a full 10 man tac squad. The thing can even put the hurt on Terminators, afterall, I've seen Terminators drop to las fire.
Who can't kill 5 marines? I've seen Terminators die to lasfire and DPs get gunned down by grots. Does that mean they're good at it? Hell no, they just got lucky. Hoping for godly luck does not make for good strategy.

The Punisher is a must in any tounament list. (in my opinion) It's Ok vs power armoured and high toughness armies, and it's fantastic vs hoard/low save armies. In a All-Commers list, it's versatility makes it a great choice.
No, it's garbage. Any other Russ variant is better.

No AP you Say? who cares, most your targets are getting a 4+ cover save anyway. Doesn't work against Enemy Armour? guess you will just have to bring another tank, or Hvy. Weapon teams. Oh, you were bringing both those anyway.
For the price tag, I expect some versatility.
