Answer:

No, Momentum is conserved.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ballistic pendulum is a device in which a projectile such as a bullet is fired into a suspended heavy wooden stationary block. Some kinetic energy gets transformed into heat and sound, and some is used to deform the block. However, momentum is conserved.
