They have different lengths, inner diameters, outer diameters, pitches, and are built around different systems.
A 150 spring for an AEG is built around a small fat cylinder with a usually leaky piston head, cylinder head, nozzle, bucking lips, bucking base, loose chamber, and loose barrel, giving different powers that a spring of the same characteristics with a springer.
A springer that takes VSR or APS2 springs has less leak points, the piston, cylinder head, bucking lips and body, and chamber, giving a different power reading.
Another thing to note in springers is that the piston is almost always heavier, the nozzle is almost always a larger bore, the bucking seal is almost always better, and the cylinder is a higher volume while having a smaller diameter and more length, changing energy characteristics.
One oddball is the ARES AS-0 series snipers which uses AEG springs, but that shouldn't be considered a sniper as it sucks insanely bad with it's unstable barrel and stock as well as the piss poor bolt pull.
