I just recieved the Execution Achievement (Capital Punishment).  I did it mainly with the Pistol.  Now the question I have is....  Does ALL of the kills I made with the Pistol for The Execution Achievement count ALSO to getting the Pistol Achievement or do I have to kill a seprate 100 with the Pistol to get the Pistol Achievement?. 

It will say if I made a Pistol kill if you are not right up close.  But when I am up close it says I made an Execution.  So does it count for BOTH?.

no it only counts as an execution same thing with sniper if u get a headshot it doesn't count as a longshot kill the best thing to do is beat someone down back up a little bit and shoot them with the pistol

no it only counts as an execution i'm pretty sure... just stand back and shoot them with the pistol when they're down. of course this won't work if you're playing execution.

you're wrong about the headshot thing... because i only get headshot kills with the longshot and i have the achievement for 100 longshot kills

well it only counts as an execution if you kill people from up close when they are down. If you shoot them from far away and kill them it doesnt count as an execution and counts as a kill for the pistol. It all depends on the icon that appears between your name and the name of the guy you killed (it appears everytime you kill someone). If its an icon of a gun to a guy's head, then it's an execution kill. If its an icon of a pistol, its a pistol kill.

make sure you are alone when you back up to kill a downed enemy lol you know what other players are like, stealing kills! sometimes i do, but other times...i stand back and watch them do their thing :)

this one guy kept cancelling the match if someone took his kill O_o pretty anal.

You have to get 100 kills with pistole, without executing your opponent. You can down them with your machine gun and just shoot them on the back with your pistol but make sure you don't shoot them in the head cause that way it only counts as execution.

You did nor read the whole thing.  I DID get the Capital Punishment Achievement in Warzone.  I do know how to kill someone with a pistol who is down and have it either be an execution or a regular pistol kill.  The question I wanted to know is, if you use a pistol to kill someone and do an execution with it, will it count twards your Pistol kill achievement because I did kill the person with the Pistol.

Kind of off topic, but what do you gain from achievements?
