thats what I thought, OP should clarify. you dont actually need to get within 3 meters from someone to gun her down with a common handgun.
If you had a Desert Eagle or Colt you could probably hit her from at least 20-30 feet without much issue. Unless we're also assuming that she gets to dodge the bullet after it's been fired and do a splash screen somersault too.

I think I can come up with a better solution then "I is Gonna Shoots her in der Face!" ****. I will nuke the whole damn block to take her out if I have to.. Fuhh the innocent bystanders.

I'd actually think there would be less of a chance in killing her with some elaborate trap. It would have to be a random encounter when she is exiting a building or walking down a street. Somewhere that you could legitimately get close enough before she notices, and a cityscape gives plenty of those.
EDIT: with an elaborate trap, there are going to be too many signs that she would pick up on.

Resources. You only get knives, gun, and peak human physical attributes to start without 'skills' (Average You). Though I suppose you could use a day or two of that prep robbing a gun shop and improving your arsenal (though that would likely get you on someone's radar). Assuming the stipulation of prep being included with the week and Black Widow is still oblivious if you were to do something like that, that actually would put a lot of other options on the table. Particularly sniping.

It'd be rather easy to swing by a gun show and legally pick up a rifle.
1 would be a big problem as I'm assuming that BW (who is no doubt a successful spy/assassin in a world full of supervillains) would no doubt have safeguards against would-be assassins herself. Knowing her location wouldn't be enough. For all you know, she would use doubles, use disguises as she exits her home, have alternative exits/entrances, keep hidden surveillance equipment and checks it daily, etc. She would also always be alert to her surroundings, she would always check her locations for suspicious characters/actions, she would never have an established routine, etc. The minute she suspects that someone is even scoping her, she liable to take that person out no problem. And, me, being someone who has little to no surveillance/espionage skills don't fancy my chances against a master spy/assassin who (even w/ the absence of superpowers) can stay alive, let alone successful, in a world full of supervillains, even with the advantage of surprise.

That's why the sniper plan is your best bet.
So, what you're saying is that, BW, a master spy/assassin who's survived and (possibly) flourished in a world full of Superpowered villains (some of who can easily track her down if they want to) could be easily killed by any noob with a sniper rifle?
I mean, where do you even know where to find your perch? Are you gonna wait in an adjacent building for days on end with the hope of being able to position yourself perfectly? Do you think that you'd be able to easily identify her amidst crowds, thru her possible disguises and have the timing necessary to spot her just in time as she exits her home? Don't you think she'd be able to notice some dude with a telescope or some car outside her home that doesn't seem to be moving anywhere (or however you plan to wait her out with a rifle)?
Edit. Hell, I've handled a hunting rifle before while out in the jungle (my dad used to take us hunting) and in the shooting range, it's not as easy as some people are making it sound, especially at the range you need it to be in order to catch some1 unawares.

The OP says that we know her whereabouts, all it would take is a hotel/building with a good vantage point and then waiting until she shows up.
You know her whereabouts but not her routines, you don't know what she looks like whenever she exits her home, you don't know if she even exits her home. You'll have to scope her out and wait it out and play espionage with someone who is a master of it in a world of super powered beings.
I don't fancy your chances.
