Time to get used to Bob The Axeman presenting without Tim as he works with Ross to present the loadout they had during Operation 2013 where Airsoft GI sent a contingent... "We had a lot of people asking what guns the guys used when going to Operation Irene, so Bob and Ross decided to show everyone what they were using as gear and what their rifles were. Because they were rebels, they didn't have to follow a strict guideline for outfits, and were able to choose whatever they wanted to wear.

Airsoft Extreme were also represented during the Operation Irene 2013, as it's a special year since it's the 20th year commemoration of the Operation Gothic Serpent/Blackhawk Down...
