So called "torture tests" make some sense for the military where a gun (regardless of type) is expected to function in heat or cold, snowstorm or sandstorm, dry prairie or dripping jungle. For most of us, they are meaningless; I have never carried a gun in a desert or a jungle and, at close to my eighth decade don't expect to.
Still, one does hope that dropping one's gun into a mud puddle or a snow drift won't put it out of commission. So, I would say that some tests are valid, while others are just something to write about, if someone else is providing the gun(s) and ammunition.
