[1.2.384] A Cannon Shooter is born

In that case yeah, bazooka needs to hit 4 times for half the damage it does now. The animation doesn't make much sense with the number of hits anyway. The two hits go off and the laser is still winding down.

Clearly the first hit was from the beam itself. The second hit comes from the sheer heat generated, as seen at the small white aura surrounding the laser.
