Plus, can you explain how beating it up, in a wooded canadian environment, would make it look like it went through the ringer in Dirka-dirkistan?

You get that look by painting it THEN beating it up.
It is the different layers of paint that will chip and get worn uneven that makes the gun...
You can force a fake look, but it is just not the same.
Since your gun is black, a good start would be to apply a tan camo job on it, then play it for a few games. Then "clean" it with a weak thinner (carefull what you take, make sure it won't attack the gun itself. For Plastic, SuperClean is perfect (some purple industrial degreaser, sold at Walmart for about 20$/gallon).
Re-do an other camo job over it with different colors/patern. Then when it will wear out, it will show some of the old paint under it.
Worn can't be faked, you have to beat it. But unless you use your gun for years, the stock finish won't be damaged... need a weak layer to do it.
Krylon paints work wonder for that.
