Minecarts and stuff

How do you typically utilize mine carts in your fortress? I've been fiddling around, mainly just using them to rid my fort of excess stone and minerals.

Mostly for QSP though.

I haven't built any, but my current plan is a gun that fires lava ad infinitum.

QSP FTW!

I don't remember the last time I put a minecart on a track more than 3 tiles long.

I mostly use them for hauling magma and quantum stockpiles with the occasional use to clean-up the bits and pieces of goblins after invasions.

At what point did the suggestion of child sacrifice become the more ethical option?

How will I utilize minecarts? Science! (note: not ‼SCIENCE‼, even though I'll be answering burning questions. For instance, how far will a troll fly if hit by a terminal velocity minecart.)
