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 as a weapon.
Swords suck, spears are a way more effective weapon

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.

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:

Have you ever fenced against a spear?
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I fenced in college against people with slightly longer arms and just that minor difference put me at a huge disadvantage.

Shield on or not?
dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 10 months ago
No shields. They’ll attract Shai-Hulud.

In that case, a guy with a full-auto handgun

If no shield, can we have a beam laser build in to the staff to even things up with the precog.
…and some earplugs.

Agreed, another reason why Morrowind is still the best elder scrolls game.

In open field or in closed space?

In a fair fight sure, but this sneaky fucker can read inputs like those cheaty fighting games bots
