All the posts are about combat between some guy with a short sword vs. a spear. No one has considered Paul's ability to predict future actions and using that to determine the best outcome. Much like fighting a Jedi (who presumably could anticipate the immediate future), how can you fight someone who already knows how you'll move and the best counter?
It was made abundantly clear that Paul could not use his prescience that way.
However, Paul being hyper-observant would see your moves as they happened and would react before you're even finished making them, just as in his first fight where he killed for the first time.
Paul would win, undoubtedly.
That's called thinking. You can do it with a spear too.
Agreed, another reason why Morrowind is still the best elder scrolls game.
Geronimo shredded motherfuckers with a spear. Dude was a master, one of his stories was about killing a whole regiment of Mexican Army who were armed with guns and he and only one or two other tribes men walked away and Geronimo was covered in blood and guts with only his spear left as a weapon.
Shield on or not?
No shields. They'll attract Shai-Hulud.
In that case, a guy with a full-auto handgun
Unless if is was a lagun. Possibly more explosive than an atomic
If no shield, can we have a beam laser build in to the staff to even things up with the precog.
...and some earplugs.
Agree with you homie
I could beat them both with my invention, the megaspear
Balista gang?
In open field or in closed space?
~~No wars were won in an enclosed space~~ <-- i was wrong see below
Trenches?
I was wrong, I shall edit my comment

You only get a short time with the pointy end of the spear and then once a sword wielder is inside your range, you’ve got an unwieldy stick and they have a sword. Good for stand off melee maybe but prob not. Go swords.⚔️

Yes, but getting in close without getting stabbed is really hard.
Here's an actual example of modern HEMA folks giving it a lot of goes:

This was incredibly nerdy and I loved every second of it
Have you ever fenced against a spear?
I fenced in college against people with slightly longer arms and just that minor difference put me at a huge disadvantage.
I feel you. I know how many hits I can get in just stabbing at unexpected moments at long range with my sword, with a spear it would be plenty easier.
