I assume you're referring to when Jeanne shoots at her after their fight on the Isla Del Sol. Jeanne basically knew the missiles were coming towards them (she had launched them from the beginning of their battle) and used the gunshot to get Bayonetta to move away from her. When the missiles hit, that distance would be enough so that Bayonetta would be blasted away by the explosion rather than be caught up in it.

As for why Bayonetta isn't hurt, she turns her head away just as Jeanne pulls the trigger. A similar thing happened when they fought at the Crescent Valley, where Jeanne fires her gun and Bayonetta moves her head out of the way before it hits her. Both of them just have very fast reaction times thanks to their demonic abilities.
