How it's used
Focuses on the technical or forceful propulsion of objects like missiles, satellites, or projectiles. It is rarely used for throwing objects by hand, where words like 掟 or 掉 are preferred. In casual conversation, it can sometimes be used metaphorically to describe sending out a signal or message.
Examples
He launched several missiles.
