No, machine pistols (as opposed to full-size SMGs) were designed to be concealed and easily carried by body guards and aircraft crewmen. That they are almost always very difficult to control is a mostly unintended consequence of their size, but the designers don't sit down and think consciously, "OK, let's build a gun that is meant to be fired in 'spray-n-pray' mode."
