shot off
Launched in haste
Shot off means departed quickly or abruptly: He shot off before I could thank him.
It also describes sending something rapidly, especially communication: She shot off an angry email.
A body part that's been shot off has been severed by gunfire: The blast shot off two of his fingers.
