I would have liked to see this done side-by-side with a G19 or other known quantity handgun.
Without a baseline, this test is meaningless.

Why do the loudest do the least?
The water part was interesting. Most guns can fire underwater so that surprised me. Meh, it is what it is.
My take on this, while many pass this video off as extreme in nature and not the norm of day to day routines, the puddle at the very beginning that shut down the striker, is concerning. Secondly the dirt and grime, and I go to Copper Custom about once a week and see Tim (MAC) about once a month, so I am aware of the kind of dirt he is talking about. It's more sand than dirt as we are about 10-30 minutes (depending on where you live) south of Lake Michigan. I live about 10 minutes from it, and the back edge of my back yard is basically sand, with grass growing out of it. What concerns me though, is that on carry guns, how many times does lint get pushed in and out of the actions and all over the handgun? Lots if you EDC.
I've also seen how easy it is to knock the VP9's slide out of battery, which can be worrisome if you're reholstering and you bump the muzzle end on the kydex or just the tension from the kydex throws it just an 1/8" out of battery. I love H&K, but this exposed some real flaws and would like to see more of these basic tests done. We don't have to start chopping trees down or steel poppers to see if the gun chokes.

I'm surprised at those results too. I hope lots of people watch this because I still want one... the cheaper the better.
I admit, that surprised me....there was a guy over at hkpro who did water and dirt tests on his vp9 and it functioned fine...although the mud MAC used looks much worse than what he did
As a vp9 guy, I will keep an eye on this

I think with the added complexity of the trigger components it isn't all that surprising to be honest, I still really like the handgun but it is an eye opener for sure about it's weaknesses
This guy doesn't throw his around and no water involved.... but...

Meh. I'm not seeing anything that would make me second guess the VP9 as my carry choice. Simply entertainment. I haven't seen anything on his channel that would influence my decisions. Reference his 9mm defensive ammo barrier test video and his fawning over Underwood's "consistent 19 inches of penetration and the stretch cavity."
IMO, click bait Clown shoes.
That's a bit troublesome, oh well I still have my glocks and a p30. Maybe I'll sell one of my VP9s for a p30 sk can't say vp9 is something I'd depend my life on
