The title says it all. Is it possible to load a minecart with living things and then shoot those living things through minecart shotgun setup into the invaders?

[Crashmaster]

yes, they have to be in cages though. Minecart shotgun where the cart hits the fortification and the cage flies out which then hits a second fortification and ejects its occupant. There should be a minecart thread with (I think Urist Davinci's) research on it.

Fixed it for you.

Since cages can contain multiple occupants, does this method eject all occupants simultaneously, and if so, how does the game deal with the parabolic tradjectories of same?

Eg, how tight of a grouping does it produce, should multiple entities be ejected?

(Contemplates the value of a genuine CAT-apult, that fires hundreds of kittens per shot.)

TLDR; puppies do spread out a bit when you shotgun them

So yes, carPET bombing is possible.
