But the punisher? hell anyone could be punisher you just gotta have an unholy amount of guns that's it
Actually no. The Punisher is a highly trained, highly decorated soldier who tapped into his berserk button which gives him almost superhuman-like abilities. While he doesn't have actual powers, there are very few people with his capabilities.

in a world where there are so many heroes his ass would have been capped on day one when they started noticing the pile up of corpses on the streets
Well, he's killing criminals. Heroes don't seem to react as strongly to violence perpetrated against lawbreakers when it doesn't hurt bystanders. His methods have gone head-to-head with a number of superheroes (because murder is highly illegal and he is wanted by the authorities), but usually they just back off in much the same way that he decided Spider-Man wasn't a bad guy and didn't kill him. Also keep in mind that he's not exactly an easy guy to track down. He's constantly on the move and strikes very quickly.
but most do see him as a deranged psychopath and sooner or later innocent lives get caught in the crossfire ---
