Blow the crap out of a place until nothing but the safe remains, then airlift it to my secret volcano base via helicopter. I would then have the money laundered so I could spend it freely.
If the bank had a guard, even if the guard was armed, he's not firing it in any situation where there is any chance of causing harm to innocents.
I worked in the banking industry. I was present at three separate instances of my bank being robbed (I live in Reno---no further questions, Your Honor.) In two of the three cases, I didn't even realize the bank had been robbed until I heard someone behind me say "we just got robbed" and I (and my customer!) were like "really?" The third case, I was standing right next to the teller (I was an assistant manager) and didn't make a move because the guy was...let's say...a bit more "stereotypical" in his meth-addled (like I said, Reno) crazy. Even then, our guard wouldn't have discharged his weapon...there were a dozen other customers in the branch, not to mention eight tellers, four bankers, and three members of management.
Anyway, to answer your "how do you rob a bank without a gun" question, you act like you've got one (tellers are trained to cooperate because, as my boss said, "the money's insured and easily replaced. Your life ain't.") Then you hand a note to the teller saying something like "this is a robbery, give me all your large bills and don't make any false moves" (having never been the teller robbed, I couldn't tell you exactly what the notes said) and hope you get to Mexico before the FBI finds you. Robbing a bank is a federal crime, meaning you get sent to Federal Pound Me In The Ass Prison for twenty years (and considering the average bank robber's haul is less than $2,000, it ain't worth it.)
EDIT: Also, alerting the guard isn't as smart an idea as you'd think, because if the suspect feels he's in imminent danger, he might just take out a few innocents or turn it into a hostage situation. The last thing a bank branch wants is a reputation like that. They'd rather just let the guy get away (at first) and use the video footage and teller's description of the suspect to give the FBI a solid lead.

I would get a group together, ride through the front doors on horses, wielding lances. Oh!
And put all of us in Kevlar armor, but put something that looks deadric over that, just for looks.

Tranquillizer darts, does the job without killing anyone, and you don't have to threaten anyone since there isn't any danger to kill someone, you can just shoot them and get it over with.
There was a time where this guy went into a bank a few years ago with some PVC hoop around his neck. He said that it was a bomb and that he had been kidnapped and was forced to rob the bank and if he didn?t do it in X or Y amount of time the people would detonate it. Well the police intervened and kept him in the bank for a really long time (presumably not believing him). Then the bomb was detonated. He was telling the truth; he had been a Pizza Hut delivery driver who had been kidnapped in the middle of a delivery and forced to rob the bank.
Although not original that?s how I would rob a bank. Then again I?m partial to Pizza Hut so maybe it would be a Dominos driver. lol
