The nova one is actually simpler than some think. I regularly run in to someone when my rifle has only a couple of rounds left and instead of reloading I automatically go for my pistol. Switching to a sidearm is faster than reloading, and if your in short range with a static (or close to static) target headshots are rather easy when you ADS if you can aim properly. Ive had quiet a few combined fire awards, with a headshot from the nova the "killshot" on a few occasions. It just takes time to gather the required number, thats why its so high.
Developers put in challenges & achievements that are going to take you several weeks or months to earn so that you keep playing the title for that amount of time. Its standard practice in FPS online games now where there is stat tracking. Hell BF2 had awards that take YEARS to earn, so I wouldn't worry about C2 in that regard.
