I have a cheaper spring shotgun. it has really good range and accuracy for its price but the fps kind of sucks (<300 fps) and i was wondering if i could put a better spring in it (m-120). If so, what spring type (pistol, aeg or sniper)?

The internals will not last with a more powerful spring. The plastic piston or trigger sear will end up breaking.
Springs on cheap shotguns are neither AEG nor Sniper Rifle sized.

Well if it is an everblast shotgun I would go ahead and do it. I put a m120 spring in mine and it has been one year and it is still going strong. The spring will add about 50 more feet to the range but it will be a little harder to pump.

i dont care how hard it is to pump, but what spring should i use (aeg, sniper or pistol) or should i just get an AEG one and clip it if it is too long?

What brand gun do you have? It might not work and clipping the spring is a bad idea.

actually i have a nice CYMA AK (the battery upgrade should arrive any day now) i just like the range and accuracy of the particular shotgun. yes i know its not a sniper rifle i just thought it would be cool to try to upgrade.

Get a 50$ UTG not the cheap ones that break quick. Especially when your gonna try to upgrade the spring if you even can.
