Balthier's quick enough to get a few shots off, which should do plenty to down Khimari. From the way it was portrayed, Ronso have an edge against humans in physical combat, but the gap is far from overwhelming and they don't possess an unnaturally high toughness.

That is a very valid argument, but the in game mechanics of FFXII are that guns are the slowest weapon to use. So it does come down to the gun against the spear/lancet, but this would still be a close battle.
