While Punisher might mock Daredevil for his moral code, one issue where Matt Murdock picks up Frank Castle's guns shows just how pathetic the Punisher really is.
In Marvel Comics, it is hard to imagine The Punisher as anything other than a lethal renegade, but for Daredevil, Frank Castle is quite the opposite. Despite debuting in The Amazing Spider-Man #129 from Gerry Conway and Ross Andru, the Punisher became an important foil to Daredevil in their methods as vigilantes.
This idea however was turned on its head in Daredevil #4 by Chip Zdarsky, Marco Checchetto, and Sunny Gho, where Daredevil and the Punisher fought each other over their ideological disagreements. After Daredevil picked up the Punisher's guns and purposely shot Frank in his kevlar vest, the Punisher taunted him for going for a nonlethal attack.
This issue illustrates a fundamental difference between how Daredevil and the Punisher wish to be perceived as vigilantes. The Punisher derives power from the fact that his name is synonymous with death. On the other hand, Daredevil doesn't care about being perceived as weak for his moral code, because publicly performing his true capacity for violence would eclipse his effort at modeling good behavior in Hell's Kitchen.
By beating the Punisher at his own game, Daredevil proved that he and Frank Castle are cut from the same cloth. While Daredevil is not commonly thought of as a fearsome Marvel character, he demonstrated to both readers and the Punisher that there is a scary side to him that must be purposely reined in.
