An arrow will take longer to melt than a bullet actually. Bullets are already very hot. Arrows aren't. You also forgot the wood bit and fletching, which will cause considerable drag and deflection in a superheated swirling vortex of air. The wood bit would burn up and the arrowhead, which is flat will deflect.

And shouts aren't normal magic, they're much more powerful, but there's only four old people who can use them and a few lizards that we could easily beat.

Uh nope, if you were willing to dedicate yourself to studying a shout, you wouldn't need a greybeard teacher. It's just that nobody wants to put in the effort. But if somebody does, they will be able to master it.
