I'm no expert but I've only ever seen them adapt to energy weapons.h2h and physical impact is usually the way to take them down face to face.
Like others have said, the problem is now about being injected.
My guess is that if the borg starts at closer than 15 feet and surrounds Cap then Cap can take no more than 100 borg before getting injected. It depends on how far do they start from Cap?
Large space is ambiguous. Give the exact size of the space and how far do the borg start from Cap. Are we to assume they surround Cap or they are in front of Cap?

Can the Borg forcefields only adapt to energy attacks or can they adapt to physical ones as well? Because if they can it could limit the amount of Drones Steve could take out before his attacks become ineffective.
They don't adapt to physical attacks like punches, and H2H weapons. Could say they don't bother because it's probably very rare the Borg get into physical fights.
If the Borg are not allowed their nanite injectors here, then it's Cap vs a bunch of slowly walking drones who really don't fight H2H. So he'd keep taking them down and out until he physically tired and that would take some time with his enhanced stamina.

Injection is not necessarily a weapon. It is to assimilate a host, not to destroy them.
You puncture skin against someone's will and inject them with nanomachines that aggressively overwrite their genetics and turn them into a pawn.
That is an attack with a weapon. Just like if you injected someone with air in their veins or poison.

If the thread takes this tangent ... imma poop my pants.
I wasn't gonna... Now, I have to.
So... what about a scorpion using its tail to sting and inject poison? Would that be considered a weapon if its part of their general biology? And would the same not apply to the Borg drones and their nanite injectors?
Now, let the pants pooping begin. 😱

Wolverine's claws are a part of his biology, yet in a no weapons fight they're usually disallowed

I disagree. It causes no harm and not meant to destroy.
So we agree to disagree.
Its up to the OP to clarify what he meant by weapons (phasers).
