Nah, no circle on the end. It doesn't add anything to the weapon.

As for your earlier question about a shield; spears were used with shields. And not tiny little bucklers either, I mean proper shields. The Viking Round Shield, the Greek Hoplite Shield, the Roman Scutum...They've all been used with spears in the past.
