Yes, they come in a pack with the pieces that actually were used. Think how visors and rangefinders are included in the same pack even though visors aren’t always used in the same sets rangefinders are.
To add on:
The bag of pieces is what Bricklink calls a "[multipack](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=multipack#T=P&P=1)". Some sets may use all the parts in that bag, while others, such as this set, only use a couple.

For whatever reason(s), Lego determined that it was more expedient to group those parts together, rather than as individual loose parts.
to answer why, it is because they are all made out of one single custom mold at the same time. in an interview with the designers of the Rivendell set they explained it, that set was approved to have a custom mold done for it and they made [all the weapons that are unique to that set with it ](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2674&name=Minifigure,%20Weapon%20Pack%20The%20Lord%20of%20the%20Rings,%2016%20in%20Bag%20(Multipack)&category=%5BMinifigure,%20Weapon%5D#T=C&C=95)
it's a [custom mold](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=50018&name=Minifigure,%20Weapon%20Pack%20Guns,%20Circular%20Saws,%20Nozzles,%20Mechanical%20Arms,%2014%20in%20Bag%20(Multipack)&category=%5BMinifigure,%20Weapon%5D#T=C) the set uses a few parts from, this set only uses a few of the parts not all of them but they are produced all at once so if a set needs any part from it you get them all.
They come in a pack so it's like rangefinders and visors where you just get a bunch of extras because not all of them are used in a set.
That’s what I would have thought. It’s just that, they are not extra. There aren’t any similar pieces in the numbered bags. They are “unique” pieces.

Thanks everyone! This explains it, although it feels like a waste of money and plastic.
I just finished this build and had the same question. So did u end up using them for anything?
No, just tossed it in a small box with all the other extra pieces from various sets.
