Spent Cartridge Crimp Connectors

I own a Ramset .22 caliber nail gun, and I was wondering if I could do something useful with all the spent cartridges, then I came up with this idea.

You will need some spent cartridges (I used .22's from a nail gun. You could also use standard .22's from a pistol.), wire, wire cutters, wire strippers and crimpers.

Strip the wires you are going to join.

For the first method, twist together the ends of the wires to be joined.

Insert the pair into the cartridge.

Use the crimper in the middle.

Crimp the cartridge 2-3 times.

This is what it should look like when completed. I suggest covering it with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to avoid shocks and shorts.

Cut the end off of the cartridge to make a tube. You may need to reopen the end with a pair of pliers.

This is what the end should look like after cutting.

Insert a wire at either end of the cartridge.

Once again crimp the cartridge 2-3 times.

This is what it should like like when finished.

This is an example of some of the stuff you can do with this. Once again insulate the connections to avoid shocks and shorts.
