Yeah, they should be OK together. From what I understand Pistol shrimp are pretty blind and they tend to stick to the bottom digging burrows and such. Unless the tank is really small they should have no problems avoiding each other.

I mean it is 5 gal but plenty of rocks and places to hide, the fireshrimp sticks in his corner and rarely comes out from behind the rock wall

I have a fire shrimp and a pistol shrimp together. The pistol shrimp is quite good friends with my fire shrimp in my tank and the pistol dosent bother him at all. You should be good!
