Well, even at a lax civilian facility once the security staff realizes it's an actual intrusion most would still be falling all over themselves to get in on the action. Diversion tactics would probably work well. The differences between facilities mostly would be how quickly they realized it wasn't a false alarm of some kind, how they were equipped and how well and how often they trained.

A relatively under equipped security staff is going to offset that with pre-planned response by local law enforcement but I can't imagine even the most underfunded security isn't going to have some kind of QRF equipped with armor and long guns in addition to fixed posts and patrols.
