Improvements in a less-lethal force device are disclosed. The less-lethal projectile device generally comprising a projectile that is mated to a docking base by way of a spherical shaped projectile ball in a retaining spherical sockets or base. The projectile ball may include a locating/orienting that locates the projectile ball in the docking base. The retaining socket has one or more wings that partially wrap around the projectile ball. The material, thickness and splits in the socket adjust the retention force placed on the projectile ball. The projectile captures a fired bullet and is propelled along the original path of the bullet at a less lethal velocity. The disclosed system results in converting a normally lethal weapon into a less-lethal blunt impact system.
