When activated, the igniter sets off a propelling charge, lifting the mine about a meter into the air.
Bounding - Usually buried with only a small part of the igniter. A blast mine is designed to break the targeted object into fragments, which can cause secondary damage, such as infection and amputation. These mines are designed to destroy an object in close proximity, such as a person's foot or leg. Blast - The most common type of mine, blast mines are buried no deeper than a few centimeters and are generally triggered by someone stepping on the pressure plate, applying about 11 to 35.3 pounds (5 to 16 kilograms) of pressure. Safety pin/clip - A pin placed in the mine to prevent it from being activated while not in use. Propelling charge - A small amount of explosive placed at the bottom of a bounding mine to propel it into the air. Projectiles - Metal balls or glass fragments placed in the mine to cause greater injuries to victims (The mine's metal casing can also become projectiles after the mine explodes.). Pressure plate - The metal disc on top of the mine that depresses and triggers the mine when stepped on. Percussion cap - A chemical compound detonated by striking or applying pressure to it. Main charge - The large of amount of explosive in the mine that causes it to explode. Magnetic mine - A mine equipped with magnets, triggered by large metal objects entering its immediate area. Igniter - A metal rod (in bounding mines) that protrudes from the ground, triggering the mine when it's stepped on also called the striker. 
Fuse - A combustible material used to ignite an explosive charge.Firing pin - The metal pin that is forced down into the detonator when the mine is activated.Detonator - A small amount of explosive used to ignite larger amounts of explosive.
Delay element - A chemical compound that burns for a set time before igniting a fuse or explosive.Black powder - A gunpowder used as an explosive, typically made of potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur.Belleville spring - A piece of curved steel shaped like a doughnut, used to cushion heavy loads.
