If he keeps the mags gassed, they won't leak. It lasting 2-3 years with no problems is more down to the care it gets and the amount of use it sees. All gas guns require lubrication to function properly. You basically want to take it down the the main bits (slide, barrel, spring guide) wipe them down and put a small amount of pure silicone oil on all the parts that make contact during operation, like the slide channels and along the barrel. Green gas isn't really cheaper or more expensive than CO2. Instead of using green gas though, you'd want to use Coleman propane (other brands aren't as pure and can damage the Orings causing leaks) along with an AI propane adapter. It'll be much cheaper to use and will outlast green gas cans. As for the environment....no idea. Airsoft isn't exactly a "green" sport.
