I thought the spotter was for spotting targets, as you said, as wekl as killing targets at closer range than the sniper could with his marksman rifle. I may be the incorrect one though. As for the 1911 magazine size thing, you could always get an extended mag, though I'm pretty sure they only go up to like 12 rounds, but still, you could put 7-12 rounds in a target in a second so that makes it sort of an overpowered pistol-shotgun.
Oh and by the way, I'm not so sure a silencer would even make a difference in your 98C if its chambered in .50 OMG
No, no, you are right. Wikipedia says that the spotter protects the immediate area and is generally equipped with an assault rifle. Silly me ^_^
A shotgun-esque pistol... I could see that being in a Call of Duty game. Empty the magazine in about a second, destroy anyone in your firing line. Awesome.
It could help a little, right? It's 50 cal, but a suppressor would still suppress, if only a little.
