He may thrash and scream and alert others before he does expire. So just be sure your shot is fatal to begin with destorying the nervous system, brain or heart.
I mean what would you think if you were a Sgt checking on your troops and you find one missing with a pool of blood all over the place?
Or you see your sentry sitting in his box and see dark liquid dripping on the ground?
Now, if you happen upon your sentrys post and just find him missing but no blood, well maybe he went to check something out, or go into the bushes to releive himself.
Or if you monitor your sentry in either a guardtower or sentry box and see him sitting there <where the assasins propped him him> all is well, but, you see him sitting threre and see blood dripping from the tower, or on the ground near the sentry checkpoint well then you sound the alarm.
Its a little thing but its usualy the little things that do add up.
Another example, ships and docks, if you are worried about being boarder of infiltratred, one key thing is to look for wet footprints.
Alot of prison camps have a ring of sand around the perimeter. It is kept clean and raked, that way if anyone crosses it they leave footprints. Same as people infiltrating on a beach or snow or a mudflat. Thus for me, some of the best time for sentry durring training was when the tide had just gone out, or after a new snow.
