Historically, mining underneath a defensive perimeter is an iffy military tactic–when it works, it can end a siege (particularly when walls can be collapsed, or explosives planted beneath defenses). When it doesn't work, it can be a grave loss as troops emerge piecemeal from the hole–assuming they are not crushed by the tunnel's collapse. COBRA's Mole Pod is specifically designed to conduct subterranean raids, but not so smart is the placement of a missile launcher in the tip of a drill bit–think about it. Also, drill bits made to tunnel through rock are flat-faced, with dull, nonconical protrusions.
