Fire off (Phrasal verb)

I've looked up the phrasal verb fire off in the major dictionaries. Although no dictionary states that the phrasal verb suggests no intention of hitting a target. All the example sort of suggest so. Am I right or that's just a stretch?

The ship fire off warning shots

They fire off a volley of shots

Mexicans fire off guns to welcome the new year
