Bullets normally are sterile due to the heat generated on firing, cloth they might go through might not be but the initial bullet is, an arrow has been hanging around often in a moist bacteria riddled location. If the bullet remains intact it is a single cleanish wound the arrow will create a ragged entry wound and may be even more damaging on the way out depending on the type of head used.
