While I can see merit is some torture tests like firing a large number of rounds without cleaning or oiling or dropping the gun in a mud puddle, many others are just plain silly. Over the years, I've read of guns that were whacked with baseball bats, frozen in blocks of ice, soaked with gasoline and lit on fire, drug behind a truck with a chain, and even thrown out of an airplane. Such nonsense is the reason that I quit paying attention to torture tests a long time ago. The fact that a gun can survive falling 5,000 feet from an airplane doesn't prove to me that it's superior, it just proves that the person throwing it has too much time on their hands.
