You took aim at the only part of the base that matters in the end, though. I think that's why we're all wondering why, but it doesn't matter now.

Exactly, it's a very important part of the base, and it's the one location where in Nomis' now slightly twisted sense of priority is now the best place to start shooting. I'm not suggesting that since he started to shoot he's already reached deep below that would be unfair and also unbelievable, but that he's trying to get there as quickly and as easily as possible. Also I wanted to kind of show that the Factory itself is tough enough that even these powerful cannon blasts need a bit of time to rip through the multiple levels of metal, as well as make it fair to everyone else.
