For the pistols only, it is just you. Note that sometimes simply equipping another weapon type can cause it to fail though it is only supposed to if you shoot with it.
For no medkits, it is for the group. They generally word it such on the requirements, that tells which ones affect the entire group requirements, or just for you.
*edit* - I forgot to add that at least a few years ago, early in the life of the Global Events, pistols were handguns only (no sawed off shotguns even though they are in that slot). And, there was also issues if one used one of the exotic (named guns such as the Golden Rhino, Liberator, Damascus, etc.

They should change it asap
Noone playing TD1 anyway, why keep this challenges so hard?
Unless something has changed very, very recently, the weapon requirements have always been just the person trying to get that commendation. That is how some missions are playable. I don't know if a group could clear Stolen Signal with SMG only for instance or Dragon's Nest with just a pistol. Those snipers on the balcony would be horrible if that were the case.
There are/were a few that the descriptions were vague or misleading/confusing. I know they changed a bunch of them around summer 2018 to clear up some of the confusion. The group health requirements were one aspect I thought they could have done more with however.
