It's true that the origional MAC-10 did see some limited use by Special Forces over the years. Basically it was concidered a throwaway weapon that could be used and then ditched if one needed to. The supressor it had at the time was great for that era and it ended the lives of a few senties. Still the Uzi was a superior weapon that ended up way more popular.
