Does one also crimp the inner, for it seems far too tiny to survive such

I haven't crimped a BNC connector since the mid '90s, but I seem to
recall crimping the center pin too.

I've quit crimping as much as possible, once I'd gotten hold
of a large batch of surplus milspec Amphenol solder plugs and
gotten the hang of soldering them there was no looking back.

OTOH, when I worked in broadcast back in the 90s we crimped
everything BNC. That was 75Ω, of course. And, the insanely
expensive and complicated Fischer triaxial camera connectors
were soldered, with clamps for both screens. If you have a
large batch to make you eventually end up performing a
pristine termination in 15 minutes flat. I held the
company record, uncontested.
