Yeah they can... medium-range, anyhow. I got my pistol badge first try (the stat update after I finished it, I had 9 global pistol kills total). I was at Sharqi, ran from the TV tower towards construction, and found a nice bushy spot in the grass. Use Spec-Ops for that... nice silenced pistol, harder to be discovered... just take your time lining up the shots, and try to pop several rounds in a row. Spec Ops pistol also seems to kick less... but that may just be my imagination.
How about this one that happened the other night... on Karkand, most of the fighting had moved North (I think I was MEC), and I notice a lone hostile infantry was spotted at the Hotel (first, southermost cappable flag), I was dead, so I changed my spawnpoint there to defend it. Another friendly must've done the same... I run up on the building next to (just south of) the hotel patio (with the flag)... I see grenades popping up in my direction... one did a fair bit of damage... so I start lobbing back, and hear "Cool it! Cease fire!" etc. The other friendly was on the other side of the flag, throwing my way (and I guess got the guy with one of those nades), and we were basically throwing at each other after that point. Whoops on both of us... though I'm the only one that said, "Sorry."
Being some kit, could be medic holding the medic bag, or spec ops holding a C4 pack... see an infantry, and switch weapons to shoot, only to find that instead of a full-auto carbine, or assault rifle, you're lobbing pistol rounds at them semi-auto. I also use semi-auto a lot on full-auto weapons to try to pick people off at medium-long ranges, and often forget to switch back when I get into close-quarters.... hit and hold left-mouse and "pop" followed by the dreaded 15 seconds, rather than "rat-at-at-at-at....".
And I always feel like a noob when I'm a full-health Assault, and I meet say a spec ops, start unloading on them, and it seems like they get me in 1-2 shots... "whoever [G36C] LazarusTaglim"... lovely... why isn't my G36 that good???
