Dozens at the very least and that's for the weakest person on the list.

Maybe 3/4 before they adapt to their abilities/tech, then it's assimilation time.

Can Borg even adapt to punches to the face?

Maybe its a case of SG1 vs the replicators. The more primitive the attack the more effective the attack is. Though the borg also tend to be able to produce force fields, have energy weapons and enhanced strength. So i dont even know if punches work on them in the first place.

They exhibited force field generation.
Were they owned (beaten completely) with a punch once and in a later scene, owned again with a punch?
Unless you are telling me the won't be able to adapt to bullets as well.

Says the guy who hasn't seen Superman 2 since he was a child, lifeformses

I like "formses" over saying "forms". It sounds cooler imo.
Forms this is, is another story

You misunderstood.
I like the word, "formses" in replacement of "forms".
But he says, "forms THIS IS". Therefore "formses" is not a good substitute. But I still like it.

Data was killing them wholesale in h2h. Punching them out and snapping necks. Yeah Borg's can't really adapt to getting beat up really bad. ANd they're super slow. Even Warf was taking them out with gun butts.

H1 admitted he has only seen Superman 2 once when he was a kid. So from now on we can't take his word for anything as he probably forgot most of what he's debating if he's even seen it at all.

The Borg have trouble adapting to kinetic force. It's why blunt force trauma, batleths, and bullets work on them, but energy weapon discharges such as hand phasers, phaser rifles, and disrupters get borked in seconds by Borg personal shielding.

They showed force field generation. There wasn't much blunt force taking them out to have to adapt to. Even so, it is PIS if they didn't. This is because of force field generation.

They are personal fields attuned to deflect specific energy wavelengths. They would not put up barriers to block physical force because that would directly interfere with assimilation processes. They are technologically advanced, not magical block everything wizards and were never meant to be so.

Probably so. But if they could do generic force fields then they could just turn it off to assimilate.
But, you are be right. Those weren't generic forcefields, but energy specifically tuned for a certain frequency of energy. My argument is that they can POTENTIALLY generate generic forcefields eventually to defend against blunt attacks.
In theory, or using the suspension of disbelief, they should be able to. It would be incredibly stupid to take out thousands one at a time with bullets and none of them can adapt to basic bullets.
That makes no sense. Therefore, it won't happen.
Silent Master
We argue based on feats, not what you believe makes sense.
If you want to argue that they will enact generic force fields to stop blunt force, then you must provide evidence of them doing so.

"Could be's" don't cut it. If they had those, they would block everything Data and Worf did. Hell, not even tactical borgs have those. The only one we have seen with personal physically effective forcefields was from One in Star Trek Voyager Episode 195: Drone
I'm sorry, but the Borg are well known for not changing their methodology until they are absolutely forced to. That is their MO. That is one of their specific weaknesses. They adapt, but they don't learn.

Are there thousands of them or millions?
Either way I don't see someone beating all of them, one at a time, with bullets, without them eventually adapting some type of force field. They would be forced to, right?
Otherwise, it would be pretty stupid and go against the suspension of disbelief.
They don't have to adapt right away. Maybe after 20 go down then they would.
But you just gave evidence that it is possible for them to create personal force fields.

The other poster already gave proof of them generating personal generic force fields from a Voyager episode. Even without that evidence, they can be reasoned to be able to do so.
Arguing from feats also includes drawing REASONABLE inferences.

Except we see that ordinary borg from the 24th century (The ones with the longest screentime) simply do not have kinetic forcefields and are known to be vulnerable to kinetic forces. My proof was for a unique character called One, a Borg created with 29th century technology.
Don't mistake my evidence. Also, you can't infer abilities not seen or hinted at at all. Like I said, if Data can manhandle borg, and wof can dice them up with his blades, and the Borg are not adapting within seconds, then you are wrong, and you should admit to such.

It is how we debate. Adapting abilities gives us the ability to argue shit that wasn't shown. It's in the very nature of that particular power.
If DD was stated to adapt to shit on the fly and shown to adapt to attacks thrown his way then we can reasonably assume that he can adapt to attacks not shown. Why? Because this is his superpower.

We argue based off the limits shown and the tendencies of the characters. He's still to this day not adapted to blunt force trauma. And there are many attacks that have killed him. You even admitted you've debated topics in which you haven't seen the material in over a decade based off memory alone. You're the worst.

A generic forcefield is within the limits of the Borg's technology.
Only a few Borg were killed by blunt force. There are millions of them at the very least.

They don't have to adapt within seconds. They can possibly adapt after an hour or any reasonable time.
The OP stated the Borg. All members should be included, unless specified.
But I digress. If it's not reasonable (under forum rules) to assume the Borg would eventually generate kinetic force fields before going extinct, then I'll concede the argument here. But ill still maintain my opinion on that they can.

You DO realize what you are inferring is in no way true, right? I mean the Borg have had literally YEARS since the battle of Wolf 359, and even longer since Q Who, to adapt to physical blows, yet come First Contact, or even Voyager, and they are STILL vulnerable to physical force. So no. After years of time to adapt, they have yet to do so. Your inference is unreasonable and not demonstrated.
And I just used the entire collective's time to adapt, and you still do not have a point.
You can maintain an opinion, even if it is demonstrably wrong, if you want to, but unfortunately, without some sort of evidence to base such an opinion on, it will not carry any weight in a debate.

Time is irrelevant. It's about the amount of Borg destroyed.
If thousands of them were destroyed with blunt force without adapting then you have a point. But only a handful or less was.
You know that debating here isn't about winning or losing. Everyone here will always maintain what their belief is, even if it is wrong. Just look at Quanchi.
I can see if this was a battlezone with judges. We would have a clear winner in that case.
The debating we do is about swaying someone's opinion. If we can't do that then it doesn't matter.
But if the One is included in this group then the Borg instantly adapts forcefields due to his knowledge.

No it's not. The Borg can adapt after a single drone is destroyed, and they have demonstrated this throughout TNG and even Voyager. You are literally demonstrably wrong on this point.

Can and Must are two different words. Borg can adapt after one attack and they can adapt after 10 attacks. There are no rules concerning when exactly they must adapt.
No one convinces anyone here really. It is very rare that happens. Typically people just spout their opinion, even if it's wrong. You would be hard pressed to find instances of someone convincing someone else of something.
In most cases, it just become an agree to disagree conclusion.
There were no stips given to which Borg can be used.

The convincing happens with evidence. If you want to debate, then you need as much solid evidence as possible. We do not go by what could be, or what you think should be, but only by what is.

The Borg have used forcefields to stop/repel physical objects before. We just don't know if they've ever been capable of stopping anything on the level of say, a photon torpedo.
Their subspace field/personal field was retconned to be weak against physical weaponry in First Contact. I still don't know how they'd do against something like a Luke Cage punch, though.

Now you've made an actual claim. Now, where is your evidence of this forcefield used to stop physical objects? And I mean from a Drone, not a corridor repulsor field. We are looking at the drones and their combat ability, remember?

Then we go by the latest incarnation if canon has been changed, no different than using Disney canon over legends when it comes to Star Wars. As much as that galls me, and as much as Voyager pisses on the Borg, that is how it must be done.

Oh, an actual drone? NVM then, they've only done that in the books that I can recall.
Voyager can **** right off, but FC isn't shit, and that still supports the idea that the Borg can only adapt to energy weapons.

It would be unreasonable to assume they have done so. The Borg do not change their way of doing things until they are absolutely forced to do so, such as was the case with Species 8472. They do not alter tactics, and they certainly do not put kinetic shields on their drones because we have never seen them do so even when logic and opportunity have been present. To simply say they do now is disingenuous, and is not even testable. If we were to suddenly slap on a repulsor field generator onto a drone, we have no way of knowing how much punishment it could take, or how much force is required to break it.
In other words, it ceases being about what you can prove, and more about what you suppose would be accurate. And that gets less and less reliable the further down you go.

There is 0 chance that you can kill every single one with a bullet at one at a time.
We can agree to disagree. But my side is the more logical. The other side is asinine.

No, it is not. Because they have never demonstrated the logical capacity to do so, even when hard pressed when Species 8472 was walloping Drones around like Hulk on meth. You have no basis to make this claim outside of what YOU would have done with the collective's tech and an audience's foresight. That is not how debates such as this work.

Incorrect. Bullets have proven effective against Borg adaptive tech before. As have Batleths, Gun stocks to the head, or in Data's case, a solid punch. Also displayed by Species 8472. Unfortunately, they do not adapt to physical trauma and this has been proven repeatedly. You do not get to assert to the contrary without evidence. You have none, from any source anywhere, to do so. So you are objectively incorrect.

Oh how simultaneously gracious and utterly bull headed of you. No, agree to disagree if you want to, but no. Not more logical, and our side is not asenine for having proof. You are being asenine by spouting claims without so much as an inkling of proof.

Their technology is well sufficient in creating kinetic force fields.
There is no way in hell that they don't eventually create kinetic forcefields after many die. I'm done with the argument. You guys are very illogical. It's about what's reasonable.

And? When have they created them for drone usage? The only time it's ever been deployed anywhere by the collective is as a corridor barricade. They do not use them as personal shields on every drone. We do not know why, and it does not matter, that is how the Borg operate. That is how they have always operated, and will always operate. They do not evolve new tactics, because that is one of their weakness.
Don't get upset because the Borg's own characterization undoes whatever tech edge they may have had. We didn't do that. Hell, if you wanted Borg with OUR competence driving them, then this would be a different story. Hell, Spacebattles have vs matches with that sort of stipulation. Audience competency alters the way anyone functions within a vs. Example, imagine we ran Sauron's forces during the war of the ring. Imagine the Empire from Star Wars ran with competency. You'll find that a lot of flaws and faults would be phased out in such matches. But, it would not be the real Dark lord's forces, or Palatine's Empire. Same vein, what you are arguing for is not the genuine real Borg Collective.

h1 never argues how things are supposed to be. He argues what he wants them to be.
"I know the Borg have never not once shown the ability to adapt to physical attacks. Because they get hit with and are damaged/killed by physical attacks all the time. Buuuuut they can totally adapt. They just don't want to. So clearly they still win."

It is faulty to assume that since they didn't evolve shields after 3 deaths then they will never evolve them (even after 100 deaths). There were time(s) the Borg adapted immediately after 1 death and there were time(s) they adapted after multiple deaths of the same attack. Therefore, the number of deaths doesn't determine when they evolve.
It's all about
1. Is it WELL within their technology
2. Will they reasonably choose to employ that evolution if they can achieve it.

You do not listen. At all.
The Borg do not consider general kinetic weapons or offense to be worth adapting to. Because very few species they have encountered can physically overpower a drone. This is well known fact, and is a very large INTENTIONALLY CREATED weakness. You don't get to suppose a nulliffication of a weakness to cover yourself based on absolutely nothing.
#1: Yes, and another well known fact is that every technology they get is done through assimilation. They don't research and develop their own tech. Now, name a species that has set up personal kinetic shield system smartass.
#2: Only if it's part of their standard modus operandi. Which it is not.
Now, if your next post does not have an explanation as to why the Borg have never deployed this wonderful nullification to one of their known weaknesses, and explains a way around their known need to directly assimilate such tech, then you cannot win this point and you should apologize to everyone you have affronted with your time wasting tactic here.

"Do not consider" and "will never consider under all circumstances" is two different things. Not only does your argument not prove the latter but it's highly unreasonable to assume it.
In the case of hundreds of them dying one at a time from kinetic means will force them to adapt, if they are technologically able to. They are intelligent as a collective, not stupid. Especially the leader.
They will not purposely choose to not adapt to what will potentially wipe them all out. If they do not adapt then it's because they don't possess the necessary technology to do so, and not because they don't choose to.
So it is common sense they will adapt (only if it's within their technology) before being wiped out one at a time.
Therefore the only thing to prove is whether it is well within their technology to do.
They have created kinetic shields in different ways. Therefore they have the technology to create a kinetic field. They have created personal fields that block certain frequencies of energy. Therefore they have the ability to create personal kinetic shields.

Wrong!!!
Characters CAN do shit they were not shown to do, provided that there is articulable and sound evidence supporting it. For example, Superman can lift a bus, although he wasn't shown to do so. Tony Stark can repair a broken printer. I can go on and on.
Two questions must be answered.
Are the borg technologically capable of creating personal kinetic shields?
And if so, will they choose to not do so at the cost of their entire race dying one at a time from physical forces?

You need to read the rules.
KingD19
Superman can lift a bus because he was shown lifting things far more massive than a bus. Tony can fix a printer because he's created trillions of dollars worth of sophisticated tech.
The Borg have several times when personal kinetic shields would have won them the day. Yet they never used them. If they didn't use them when they had multiple instances, then they can't or won't use them. Either way it doesn't matter because they weren't used. Stop being asinine.
Silent Master
You'll notice that he always leaves after making at best a few posts and then waits hours if not days before coming back. he's trying to drag this out in the hopes that the people who disagree with him will lose interest and move on. that'll allow him to get the last word and declare victory.
It's a rather old troll tactic.

You are unreasonable for making the leap of logic that the Borg alter tactics without prompt. It took Voyager's intervention to do that with Species 8472, and they were LOSING that war badly. They had the technology, they HAD the nanoprobes, but they never learned how to use it. This and this alone is ALLLLL the proof I need to shoot your entire argument down. Have fun trying to counter that H8, because anything else you try is simply garbage.
