Do multiple Nodes preloading the same resource make multiple copies of it?

Question

In my game, the bullet Node contains all the information regarding how fast it is, how innacurate the bullet is and what sound is played. This is because in my game, the type of bullet changes, not the gun. I was just wondering if it is very inefficient for every bullet node to be preloading their gunshot sound

Answer 1

Resources are shared. Once a resource has been loaded, additional instances will use the same resource.
