A lot of Aidid's fighters were former members of the Somali National Army who had defected as Siad Barre's regime began to disintegrate in 1990. That's a guy who appears to be his in his late-20s or early 30s, so he could have been a participant in the Ogaden War as a teenager or the Isaaq genocide of 1987-1990 and knew his way around a gun.
