Berserkers do have extra hitpoints, but remember these guys are supposed to be fighting in a blind, adrenaline-filled, possibly drug induced, rage. People in this state can take a lot of damage before going down for good, look at combat stories from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and you will find incidents of people getting hit with dozens of 5.56mm and even 7.62mm rounds before they go down.
I am a fan of realism myself, so I hope you find the balance here enjoyable!
