The Real Bullet Necklace or Earring

Step 2Getting rid of the firing cap

Getting rid of the firing cap
NOTE: The author is not in any way responsible for any harm anyone could possibly cause upon themselves, anything, or anyone else by doing this process.

The best way i figured to get rid of the firing cap is to place it on a concrete surface, *like my garage floor* AWAY FROM ANYTHING FLAMMABLE. Place it Cap side up, with the opening where the bullet was on the ground. I then took a metal punch and stuck it with a hammer while the punch was sitting on the cap making it fire off on to the concrete. I then took the metal punch and pounded out the remains of the firing cap out the back by placing the punch on the inside of the casing, leaving a hole in the back of the casing.

I used to make these all the time, I simply use casings with primers that have already been fired, and I make my own bullets, but that may be out of the question here...

Except your own home made heads are molded lead and not copper FMJ... Not the most healthy thing to have rubbing against your skin...
