As I understand it, realistic sentry removal would usually either involve an axe, club, machete or similar to the back of the neck, hoping to snap the spine, or grabbing the victim (either with a hand around the mouth or an arm around the neck forcing the jaw closed) and stabbing repeatedly into the torso, hoping to puncture the lungs.

Martial Arts p. 138 has rules which allow an attack to the neck to damage the 'throat' preventing coherent speech with a major wound, but the odds are fairly low. I think that there should be some way to do it deliberately in a cinematic game.
