So you're saying the specs Eliot R Brown supplied throughout the Armory series is incorrect? I'm not a gun buff but I thought the info he supplied was detailed as was his drawings.

Gun porn is dismissive as well. Rifles, pistols, yes, but Brown also covered a variety of subjects ranging from cutlery to spying equipment to locks (and picks & devices to beat them) to combat simulators to esoteric weapons such as blowguns. They even reprinted his diagram of the Punisher's Battle Van from Official Marvel Handbook #15. Plus, Brown added narration snippets from the character that gave reasons why he chose these specific models and/or devices. Disturbing though it may be to some, it did offer some interesting character insight as to his preparation for waging his one-man war on crime.

And yes, Marvel did do a similar venture for Iron Man. Also by Eliot R Brown:

Garth Ennis' Punisher was probably the only time where the series was done actual justice and flat out embraced the utter stupidity of the book.

The current Punisher book where Frank somehow gets ahold of Stark's War Machine armor is pretty okay too

I love the Jimmy Olsen title and while the impetus for it may have been little more than, 'The TV show is popular and kids really like Jack Larson in it', it would have been a missed opportunity had the series not existed.  It's all very well and good to see how someone like Superman deals with the constant bombardment of alien invaders, bizarre happenings, and general excitement that Metropolis served as a magnet for, but how would the everyday man on the street cope with these things without him?  How would the reader of these comics deal with being changed into a Bizarro?  Being shrunk by Brainiac?  Having all memory of his existence erased from the world?  Superman could either come up with a solution to these problems fairly quickly or already had one ready to go, Jimmy, however, was almost always in over his head.

Jimmy Olsen really was the Phillip J Fry of the 1950's and 60's - just a lovable, well meaning, goofball who couldn't avoid making the blunders that would have spelled disaster had he not also possessed the wits to get himself out of any dilemma.  "Ah, but what about that Superman Signal watch? How bad could things have gotten when he had Superman on his speed dial?", you ask.  Trust me - Superman could have been handcuffed to Jimmy for his whole adventure and Jimmy would have still found a way to render him useless.  And to Jimmy, none of this would have seemed all that extraordinary to a guy who seemed to assume that getting turned into a Porcupine Man or his own evil duplicate was something that happened to most people.
