The armor issue is a big thing though. Borg dermal armor is pretty impressive and it seems that at least in the future it just gets worse and worse. By the last episode of Voyager is looked like the Borg were insane things to behold (partially trans-phasic, had personal force fields plus personal "armor" systems.. Ouch!). Imagine, future borg could literally assimilate you through a wall, and a whole new dimension to "resistance is futile", eh?
Even with modern borg though the threat is almost as bad. If your shields get dropped, you're on a cube, or they get your modulation, they can literally transport right behind you and have assimilation probes in your neck before you know what happened. Projectile weapons will work but the borg have patented ways of throwing a target off-guard or simply overwhelming them. Bottom line is you don't mess with them, ever!..
Unless, of course, you're Worf, Data, the EMH, and possibly Tuvok.
