POTD: Glock 21K?

I stumbled across this oddity. It is a Glock 21 with an odd looking muzzle brake and an H&K styled vertical grip typically seen on an MP5K. While I have seen some people try to add a vertical grip onto a Glock before, this one is different. It appears there is a screw that is acting as the bar to keep the MP5K grip onto the Glock 21. Does anyone recognize the muzzle brake? In the bottom left corner it mentions a website yourprops.com/user/Matsuo which makes me think that this might not be a real firearm and possibly airsoft.

This appears to be Airsoft to me looking at the trigger shoe I cannot see the pins (that may be due to resolution), the locking block and trigger pins appear not to be correct either.
I made this gun. Most of the assumptions are correct. Let me hit the high points.
This was a very old project. At least 10-12 yrs old.
It was intended as a static prop.
The pic was a live weapon. Purely for the photo op. The finished version would have utilized a blank only prop.
I used to work in partnership with a class3 mfg so NFA was not a concern.
As mentioned the dust cover/rail mount on any glock is far too flimsy to use for a Foregrip.
Through researching the project we realized that if a glock was to use a vfg the load could not be put on the rail it would have to be centered on the trigger guard to mitigate the leverage action of the vfg to prevent snapping the rail off.
Thusly... the project was deemed silly.
The grip was an aftermarket Hk pdw grip. The comp was made up on the fly.
Small movie production companies are surly.
The movie never happened. I never got paid for my work.
I have no idea where those parts are now.
