Line 39:
** During the course of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', the Federation either encountered, captured, or developed several different pieces of technology that would have made dandy anti-Borg weaponry. The soliton wave (originally intended to be a "warp drive for ships without a warp reactor") and the sentient nanites, just to name two. But did Starfleet use such weapons? Of course they don't...
*** Let's not forget the grand-daddy of all forgotten weapons technology, Project Genesis from ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan]]''. Let's see the Borg adapt to '''''that!'''''
**** [[No Plans No Prototype No Backup]]. They can't use Genesis vs. the Borg, because everybody who knew how to make it is dead and their research notes destroyed.
** And of course they never reproduce the one technology that has proved itself repeatedly effective against the Borg: bullets and other such kinetic energy weapons. The fact that the Borg haven't already adapted to it proves that they can't -- what are the odds that of all the species the Borg have assimilated, they never encountered one that used guns?
*** The Borg have been successfully taken out with kinetic impact (fists, knives, bullets, etc.) in multiple episodes, written by multiple writers, across multiple seasons and multiple ''shows'', and have never yet adapted to them. This one's canon, folks.
