Principe du tir avec bouchon.-Lorsque l'on creuse une galerie, il n’ existe qu'une face libre : le front de galerie. La première opération dans le tir consiste à créer artificiellement une surface libre supplémentaire et un volume de dégagement pour les autres coups de mine de la volée : le bouchon. 4, record 1, French, - tir%20avec%20bouchon

Le tir d’abattage utilise des trous de mines sensiblement parallèles au front des gradins, presque toujours verticaux. L'explosif travaille ainsi à proximité d’une surface de dégagement contre laquelle l'onde explosive se réfléchit, soumettant la roche à des contraintes de traction à laquelle elle résiste mal; la charge est plus concentrée au pied des gradins, sous-cavant ainsi la partie supérieure qui s’effondre en partie sous son propre poids. 3, record 2, French, - gradin
