Why do high speed projectiles disintergrate upon impacting water?

Yet low speed projectiles can the water to a significant depth? I saw a Myth Buster episode where they proved this to be the case, but didn't actually explain the science as to why this is so. I also know someone who hunts fish with a bow and arrow, so lower speed arrows have little problem water unlike high velocity guns. What is the reasoning behind this?
