King Abdullah II of Jordan celebrates his son's birthday by taking him to the gun range.

The videos below show King Abdullah of Jordan and his son, Crown Prince Al Hussein Abdullah having a great time at the elite King Abdullah Special Operations Training Center. It looks like they are having the time of their lives!




I am pretty impressed at how a 56 year old like King Abdullah gets around pretty good. It's pretty clear that he's not someone to be messed with. Of course there are rumors that King Abdullah personally led his countries airstrikes against ISIS, so it's not surprising that he is a warrior king.

This is fairly obvious propaganda for the Kingdom of Jordan. That doesn't mean it isn't cool or bad ass though. It's pretty clear that both the King and Crown Prince are of a military bent and aren't the kind of guys that you would want to pick a fight with.

I was also interested in seeing the King's weapons. Abdullah has a pretty high end Sig Sauer MCX short barrel rifle. It's a unique rifle and it's clear that the King has his tricked out. Abdullah also has a custom 1911 domestically produced in Jordan. It sounds like the JAWS 1911 might be offered up for export. If so, this was a pretty awesome way to advertise it.
