6LABS
6LABS, the Powair6 custom airsoft workshop
Powair6 was born from a workshop, not a catalog. Since 2012, 6Labs has been preparing and customizing airsoft replicas. The workshop started with PTWs, made its name with HPA, then expanded to AEGs, other replica families and GBBs. Selling parts, then complete replicas, came later, built around this expertise.
6Labs customs by replica family
- Custom HPA: replicas converted to HPA from an AEG or GBBR base, with components selected by the workshop. This is the core business of 6Labs.
- Custom AEG: electric replicas built for reliability first.
- Custom GBB: upgraded pistols and gas replicas, such as the Glock 17 Gen5 custom GBB.
- Custom Sniper: upgraded sniper rifles, such as the VSR Lightweight 2.0 HPA.
- Custom magazines: high-capacity HPA magazines for GBBR, from 400 to 550 rounds depending on the model, developed by the workshop.
A setup chosen from selected parts
On configurable customs, you build your replica from parts selected by Powair6, such as the HPA system. The workshop only offers components it has found to be compatible with each other: no bad surprises at assembly.
6Labs sells complete replicas, assembled and tested, not sub-assemblies. You can also send in your own replica, provided it is unmodified: the workshop upgrades it according to your project, with advice, then ships it back to you. Workshop replicas come with a two-year warranty.

Innovation and reliability: how the workshop works
The 6Labs team is made up of players who still play. Many projects start from a need met on the field: the team first tests an idea for itself, and develops it if it holds up. When a part is missing to adapt a system to a replica, the workshop designs it in 3D.
The catalog of about 11,000 products also plays its part. New parts are taken apart as soon as they arrive, and after-sales service brings different replicas to the workshop every day. When a player asks a technical question, the team inspects the product in stock to answer, if the product allows it (no seal, no risk of wear).
A custom also has to last. Before going on sale, a 6Labs custom is tested over several thousand BBs, then produced in series. If a problem appears, including with the supply of a part, the custom is withdrawn from sale until an improved version is ready. The M4 Noveske ICFU, which stops firing when the magazine is empty on an HPA replica, is an example of a system developed by the workshop.

Frequently asked questions
What is 6LABS?
It is the technical workshop of Powair6. It prepares and customizes HPA, AEG, GBB and sniper replicas, and develops its own products, such as high-capacity HPA magazines for GBBR.
Can I choose the setup of my custom replica?
Yes, on configurable customs. The choice is made from parts selected by the workshop for their compatibility.
Can I send my own replica to the workshop?
Yes, if it is unmodified (not altered by another workshop). 6Labs prepares it according to your project, in AEG or HPA, then sends it back to you. The project is first discussed between the player and the technicians, to make sure the workshop has the knowledge needed for it to succeed, especially for certain brands or models that require specific expertise.
Are 6Labs customs tested before shipping?
Yes. Every replica leaves the workshop assembled and tested, and every new custom is proven over several thousand BBs before going on sale.
