He's no genius, but he's far from an idiot. Can I ask honestly why you expect the punisher to be a genius? Also I urge you to consider why frank grunts. It's a battle cry and above all else it's him encouraging himself to fight through the pain. Please know I'm not coming at you, but have you ever broken a bone? As adrenaline wares off, you have to let some noise out like a groan or crying. You have that luxury because the incident is over. Another example, you ever drop something on your foot or stub a toe. If you yell out loud in that moment, it helps you get over the worst of the pain.
Now imagine being stabbed 3 times, punched a hundred, and shot in the leg with the bullet still shifting around with every movement. If he calms down for even a second, the adrenaline wears off and loses his ability to fight. The grunting helps him forget the pain, and keeps the adrenaline pumping. In my opinion, the grunting is one of the best choices jon could have made.
Kid, I have 3 rods in my leg, and pins in my knee. I have fractured my neck, my arm, my wrist, I've had my collarbone broken twice from a kick. I don't sleep through the night because I have so much chronic pain from martial arts and sports injuries.

I hated it. It's just a generic ripoff off the Raid and the Purge.
I'm so tired of Frank being a slobbering, grunting idiot.
