No, a bang is a bang. And yes, the buoy only has two charges on it, so it's only good for two bangs. Usually the way it works is that they lay a pattern of source buoys and receiver buoys and then set them to bang in some pattern according to some schedule. It's unlikely you would drop just one. This way the pattern is BOOM!!! listen... BOOM! listen... BOOM! listen...
