I actually don't know what the point of this is in GURPS. Even with a grapple, you still have a -8 to hit neck arteries (since the grapple doesn't impact the targeted attack penalties for the knife), and I don't know of any GURPS techniques for silencing sentries with a hand over the mouth or anything.
