Yes green gas is propane with a bit of silicone added to it. I'm not saying that the gun, at the least the one he's talking about, can't handle green gas. but if he wanted the gun to have a longer lifespan, he would need to change some things to handle green gas. Out of the box, his gun is spec'ed to handle the lighter duster gas (as is my understanding).
I've heard of some cases where stock plastic slides have flown completely right off and hit faces and chests because the pressure from the gas was simply too much to handle. Or the some internal parts completely obliterating themselves like the loading nozzle for example.
If he wanted more 'oomph' in recoil and a boost in performance as well, he would need to change parts anyways (springs, valves, etc). At that point, I think the concern becomes more of a fitting/compatibility and installation/ calibration issue rather than gas compatibility.The onus is on the owner to research for compatibility/fitting/installation of parts. As is my understanding anyways.
My advice is to run the course on stock form with duster until something needs changing (this might take a while as Marui guns IMO are pretty tough) and upgrade to green gas when he needs to change parts.
You can find duster in like walmart or something in the automotive department or in a computer place. It's the stuff they use to clean keyboards with. The problem is that they have that weird attachment that you will need to wack off. You will also need an adapter for it. You can buy an airsoft innovation one. It's pretty cheap.
You can check this thread here for a few places:

I also found this guy in my search:

And this one from the source. It contains the tetrafluoroethane 134a compound in it.

If that helps, at all. I'm no gun tech though. Check with illusion he would know for sure since you're dealing with a hi-capa specifically.
