New Dune movie raised an interesting implied question with its costume design. The movie lays out the rules of personal shields in the Dune-iverse - slow blade goes through, fast deflected. It also shows soldiers in heavy armor. How do you penetrate armor with a slow blade?
Paintballs filled with caustic, poisonous, or flammable material, buried in a landslide (real or manmade in the form of dumping gravel on someone) all seem like ways to defeat a shield. Gas slowed enough to block the effects long enough to react - was considered in the novel.
