      Substations are full of oil-cooled power transformers.

      Oil-cooled power transformers are large, obvious targets that can be permanently disabled by a single hit from a decently powerful rifle, even at great distance (all you have to do is punch a hole in it and let the oil leak out so it overheats), and they’re expensive and time-consuming to replace.
