The only problem with this is that you must heat the bullet connector up
before you melt the solder onto it. The solder melts at a much lower
temperature and the temperature difference will pretty much guarantee a
"dry joint" which, if it doesn't just pull apart at the first nit of
stress, will be a poor conductor and weak mechanically (probably failing
somewhere later down the track).
Then again - it may work just fine, unless it is a "critical"
connection, whereupon it becomes subject to "Sods Law" :-)
