In the holodeck scene, it is established that the Borg shields cannot fend off crude solid projectiles. In the deflector scene, Worf kills one with a Klingon blade weapon called a "mak'leth". Why didn't Picard simply order the crew to replicate obsolete firearms and swords to fight with? Because Borg can adapt to (almost) anything after a short while. Using old weapons would have been no more effective than reconfiguring phasers. But why did these weapons work in the first place, if Borg can adapt to them and probably encountered such weapons before? Because Borg don't use every adaptation from every weapon they have ever encountered - that would be highly impractical and inefficient. Instead, they simply re-adapt for any given mission.
