Still all about shot placement. PCP was a big problem back late 70s, IIRC. Anyway, I had a much older cousin who was a police officer down in the Houston area. I remember him telling my dad and uncle a story about a guy violently high on that stuff who took a .357 to the head (after other hits to the body), literally took part of it off. The officer who shot him obviously got a solid hits, but it didn't drop the guy, he kept coming with a knife in his hand. Took a Remington 870 with buckshot to the legs to drop the guy. I mean, he was "dead" from the .357 but his body just didn't get the message because of the drug. Bad stuff, very bad stuff.
