There is an untraceable small amount of energy transfer, but the fact reamins that is not the foremost of what happens. Newtons 3 laws of motion deal with momentum, momentum transfers and acceleration, not energy transfers, Newtons 3 laws of motion govern all collisions. In a lastic collision "energy" is transfered as the colliding bodies remain in motion. No motion, no "energy transfer". A Deer is not accelerated with a bullet impact
