In a fair fight sure, but this sneaky fucker can read inputs like those cheaty fighting games bots
In open field or in closed space?
No wars were won in an enclosed space<-- i was wrong see belowTrenches?
I was wrong, I shall edit my comment
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.

No shields. They’ll attract Shai-Hulud.
In that case, a guy with a full-auto handgun
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.⚔️
So you’re saying, once you lose your advantage you gain a disadvantage? This the kind of religious propaganda that put Atreides on the throne
I’m just saying you better be hot fire with that spear. Otherwise you’re getting cut.
Absolutely not. It’s the other way around there’s a reason any army get spears while swords are just a simbol for nobility.

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:
