Sentry removal is still taught, but the targets are, in GURPS terms, the Vitals and the Neck Vein/Arteries. Attacking the Spine in the Neck is considered to require such millimeter precision, exact angle and considerable power that it's impractical to expect even picked soldiers to be able to carry it out under combat conditions.
