No, easiest way to explain is hooke's law
F = kx
F = forced applied on the spring (the force that comes out after compression)
k = spring constant
x = displacement
*There are other higher level elements to it...but that would just make this explanation more confusing
While the F which generated 150m/s might be the same for an AEG and VSR spring, the k and x is dramatically different to arrive at that number. This is because VSR springs are much longer in length than typical AEG springs, and therefore displacement is different. A VSR spring compressed down to an AEG length would generate you ALOT more than 150m/s. So you're comparing apples and oranges. When they give you the 150m/s value (force), they are assuming the displacement typically associated with their respective platforms
