It is represented by a red circle with a Needler and five hearts.
 
This achievement is most likely a reference to the large explosion created by firing a Needler continuously at someone. The name also appears to be a reference to the movie Jarhead, in which snipers refer often to the "pink mist" after a successful kill.  
 
There is an easy way to achieve this. During CQB levels like [[Crow's Nest (Level)]], find a Needler and fire it on Grunts and Brutes at will. Remember, without reloading a Needler you can easily get 2 Needler explosions, so getting 5 would be easy, as long as you have cover and good aiming skills.
 
It is commonly considered to be the easiest achievement to get in halo 3.
