  Mission: Flashpoint
  
  About halfway through the mission you'll enter a VIP lounge with Price, here you'll find five paramedics, all of which are Makarov's men. Ignore the closest paramedic by the stretcher thats calling for assistance. Instead keep your eye on the paramedic in the back right, he'll slowly approach the counter, pickup an AK and throw it towards his colleague at the back door. Ensure you shoot this gun out of the air while it's in mid flight and if done correctly the achievement should pop.
  
  If you did miss the shot, quickly press and load previous checkpoint to have another go, before Price clears the room.

  Swap your pistol for a shotgun in the shop on the level below makes it much easier

  Pick up a shotgun before and just aim between those two bad guys.

  If you don't have a shotgun, its easier to shoot if you're back closer to the entry doors and just shoot in the area it flies thru, first try from that position netted the cheevo, but closer range nowhere close

  Mission: Flashpoint
  
  Play through the mission until you head up a staircase and breach the VIP Lounge door. Inside you'll find terrorists disguised as paramedics. They'll ask you to help the civilian, but you want to ignore this command. Instead, wait for the enemy in the back right to walk towards the table where he'll pick up a gun and toss it across the room to another enemy. As this happens, shoot the gun out of the air! If not successful, immediately pause and load the last checkpoint as the AI will quickly kill the enemies forcing a new checkpoint quite quickly. Once you are successful, this should pop.

  During the mission 'Flashpoint' you will head up some stairs from the main level to the vip area. As you enter the vip room there will be a couple of guys trying to help some wounded man. Choose not to help and keep an eye on the far right and far middle people. A gun will be tossed from right to left from behind a table. Your goal is to stand central and aim at the far door with a fully automatic weapon to shoot the gun as it is thrown. This could take a few times and you can reset the checkpoint to get an idea of where you need to be shooting.

  In order to get this to work for me I had to aim towards the door handle on the right as it wasn't giving me the achievement when I aimed near the left door handle, perhaps the gun was too close to him and failed to register that he wasn't catching it.
