The thought that he would still have enough energy to kill the knight does bear some thinking, and may work if the knight had no prior experience with beserkers. However, if the beserkers fought the Romans and were so powerful, how come the Romans conquered them with ease despite the fact that there were so many more Gauls?

PS- I do know what a boar spear is. A thin pointed weapon (armor piercing arrows, some daggers/dirks) can pierce chainmail. If the point can get through the links, then you can get the rest through, too. Plate armor is almost impossible to break by middle earth weapons, but IRL, by the time plate armor was invented, the were primitive fire arms, extremely powerful crossbows, & many good, blunt impact weapons.
