Yes, it is possible. You need to use something called magnitude to detect how far away the player is from a part.
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local part = workspace.SomePart --Locate your part here
local studsAway = 18 --set how many studs you the player needs to be in range of
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
if (camera.CoordinateFrame.p - part.Position).magnitude < studsAway then
--do something
print("hey")
end
end)
**Please accept my answer if this helped! **

I have one more question, will it also detect the player holding the gun?

And what's the code I put in it to kill the person.

You'll have to learn and do that yourself, so I suggest reading the wiki. This was an example on how to use magnitude so you could add onto it.

ok
local magnitude = (part1.Position - part2.Position).magnitude
print(magnitude)
if math.floor(magnitude) < 5 then
--code
end
.magnitude calculates the distance between two parts, hope this helped you! accept if it helped you solve your problem!

It's best to get the player's camera and use RenderStepped though.

Also CoordinateFrame.

Just make the ray shorter. Im assuming you are using Raycasting.
