The weight of his spear wasn't given, the weight of the spear head was. That weight was 600 shekels, a shekel is .4 ounces. If my math is correct that means the head weighed 240 ounces, which is 15 pounds. A very big spear head! The shaft was the "size of a weaver's beam" which is about 2-3" around and about 6-8' long. A very big spear.

Considering Goliath was 9' 9" tall, he was big enough to handle it.

Jesus where was he stabbed?

The Gospel of John says "But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water." (John 19:33, 34 NIV.) Later - after the resurrection - John records, "Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.'" (John 20:27 NIV.) Specifically, the word for "side" is πλευρὰν which Strongs' Concordance says means "a rib, i.e. (by extension) side" so, incidentally, it's the same word the Greek Lexicon of the Old Testament uses for Adam's side in Genesis 2:21. There is also a bit of controversy over Matthew 27:49 because the KJV and most other English Bibes leave out a sentence that is in some (but not the majority) of old manuscripts. This phrase is "And another took a spear, and thrust it into His side, and out came water and blood." as cited in an article at http://bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Bible.show/sVerseID/26860/eVerseID/26860 This is essentially in agreement with John's account, so it doesn't really make much of a difference whether you accept the line from Matthew or not; Jesus was stabbed by a spear in his side.
