PS -- You're wrong about the nuclear power plant
Mary Anne — (archived)

Nuke plants are built with security in mind, so the access points are limited and easily controlled with permanent hardware, thus eliminating the need for a hail of gunfire. It would be possible to take out a driver from a designated position or to destroy the tires of a vehicle, just as a couple of examples.

Thanks to the use of containment vessels, there's a little less likelihood of easy access to the reactor, too. The sturdiness of real buildings can't be matched by the necessarily mobile and therefore more improvised nature of a checkpoint established on a moving front line at the corner of Sand Dune and East Combat Boot.

Also, the weapons available to security personnel in civilian settings are somewhat different from combat weaponry.
