The Bank of England has a fascinating museum in one side of it. They had an exhibit with a gold (or maybe tungsten) bar inside a perspex pyramid. You could put your hand in and lift the bar. Movies that show robbers dumping lots of bars into bags and running off with them aren't exactly realistic. Which I guess is one of the big drawbacks to heists, the stuff is just soo damn heavy.

I'd argue that Fort Knox is a lot more impenetrable than the Federal Reserve. You'll just get shot at the Federal Reserve for the attempted heist but you'll get destroyed at Fort Knox and won't even get to the point of seeing the main building let alone get anywhere close to the vault door. Fort Knox is a military base. The vault is underground behind one of the most insane vault doors ever constructed. The building leading to the vault sits in the middle of a piece of land containing landmines (one of the few areas of the U.S. that has active landmines). The building itself is deep inside the military base. There are Apache helicopters on standby at all times. Access to the base entrance is a highway/freeway off-ramp.

Expert-grade marksman. I am one of those, per the U.S. Army. The minimum for that is 36/40, and the ranges are 50m 150m and 300m, and from three shooting positions as well, so it's not easy. You need great focus and tight control on breathing. An expert shot misses sometimes...but it's honestly not at all common. One-shotting targets is, conversely, quite common, especially at short range.

While the NY Fed gold vault is pretty impenetrable, I can thing of other facilities that are moreso. Some of these are widely known. Ft Knox has most of the same internal security features, but unlike the NY Fed, no one who isn't on staff can get anywhere physically near the building, which has a deep perimeter guarded by machine gun nests. And it sits on an army base who's troops and tanks are available for it's defense. Then there's the Cheyanne Mountain complex. I's dug into a mountain, and designed to take a direct hit from a multimegaton nuclear weapon. Then there's the bunker complex at Kirtland AFB in New Mexico where the military stores its undeployed nuclear weapons. Again no one except authorized personnel can get anywhere near the bunker, and the bunker has all the security features the NY Fed has, and more, and without the niceities necessary to deal with the public in close proximity.

I believe most of the floating 'traded' depository gold is held either in the basement of the NY Fed, the basement of the Bank of England, or one of the larger Swiss banks, which specializes in that line of business. A few countries, like Germany (as mentioned) and now Russia and the PRC (for obvious reasons) have begun housing a lot of their bullion in their own vaults, but that makes it hard to sell/trade, if that ever becomes necessary. Much easier to pay the NY Fed $1.25 to take a bar from one vault cage and move it 65 ft down the isle to a different country's cage, with the cash settling via SWIFT.
