How to unlock the Pea Shooter achievement in Call of Duty: Ghosts - Definitive Guide
The easiest place to get this achievement is directly after clearing all the hives in Area 2. After clearing the hives, players want to make sure that they have no offensive abilities active, and that traps have been disabled. Now, once you enter the hallway that leads into Area 3, a single Rhino with no other enemies will spawn. Lure the Rhino into the open area and have all 4 players unload on it using their pistols. It is recommended that you use the automatic pistol with explosive ammo, and it should go down within 40 seconds. Once the Rhino dies, only the person who hit it last will get the achievement. It should be noted that this achievement can be done solo also.
The achievement is also possible at other times during Area 2. The first Rhino will spawn from the ground during the 3rd hive of Area 2. It is advised that you immediately turn your sentries around, or don’t deploy them in the first place for this achievement. Also, using a flare will help take the attention of all the other smaller aliens that get in the way and damage you. Have the team focus fire to kill it as fast as possible before other enemies get in the way too much. A video guide of this method can be seen HERE.

Second to the Breeder only, the Rhino is one of the most difficult Cryptids to kill. He has a hard shell that protects most of his body. He defeats his enemies by charging at them or smashing the ground below any person in front of him. As far as this Trophy is concerned, the description does not explain a few important details:
1) You must inflict the damage on him using your pistol only. Any other source of damage against the Rhino during the attempt at this Trophy will nullify the Trophy.
2) The Trophy is awarded to the person who delivers the final shot. You will know when you get $1,000+ as a reward.
3) If using explosive ammo, SOMETIMES the explosion from the ammo could kill him and it would NOT award you the Trophy. Make sure to maintain high accuracy if you believe its about to die. Explosive ammo does work, but do be mindful of that potential outcome.
The best Rhino to do this against is the one that appears right when you enter the Weapon Facility. He will be alone (or with a Scorpion) and with the lack of distraction and mayhem, devoting your attention to him would not be a taxing task. As soon as he is dead from pistol bullets, the person who delivered the final blow will receive the Trophy.
There are a few caveats to this trophy, pistol damage is the absolute only type of damage the Rhino can take, even a single bullet from another gun, or any grenades / betties / etc will negate this. Also, the person who lands the killing bullet will be the only person who gets this trophy, so if you're running with people who already have this, make sure they stop shooting after they empty a few clips into it.
Due to how hectic it is in the other areas when Rhinos spawn, I'd highly recommend only trying this in this situation.
To get this achievement, the Rhino must take damage from ONLY pistols. This means that the Rhino CANNOT take any damage from turrets, sentries, vultures, traps, grenades, weapons, SOFLAM, etc… Also, only the player who delivers the final killing hit to the Rhino will get the achievement. It is recommended that you do this with a party of 4 players who you know, or solo. If any player damages the Rhino with something other than the Pistol, the achievement is voided for everyone.
