Tubules counting as weapons sounds fair enough.1 your bog standard borg drone has a weapon pod in place of his/her left hand with the tubulles extruding from the centre and since the scenario calls for the borg weapons to be dissabled or destroyed then the tubulles will be also.
She has them. Ref STVOY "Endgame".the only exceptions to this are the borg quuen who has drone guards and does not need weapons
He didn't rebuild it. He simply removed a large portion of her implants. Seven didn't have a bulky cybernetic arm replacement. See here.and Seven of Nine whose superstructure was surgically removed by the doctor to bring her organic systems back to life , he rebuilt her hand.
Wrong, Borg nanoprobes do assimilate and alter metallic targets. This was seen in ENT "Regeneration" and STVOY "Scorpion" (probably a few other eps I'm not remebering at the moment as well). Borg nanoprobes are well known for their ability to assimilate computer consoles and similar objects with metallic composition.2 Borg tubulles inject nanites that are programmed to assimmilate organic systems not metal , however although a borg drone can re program his nannites to destroy metal he would not do so inside his own body because it would destroy his mechanical substructure and kill him.
See above.3 borg do not assimilate machines,
They added organic material to his body. That effectively made him a cyborg actually.they either destroy them or rebuild them into borg tech , for example what they tried to do to Commander Data was surgically replace his epidermis with living skin while trying to re program him.
Why not? Drones used their injection tubules during fighting throughout Star Trek: First Contact.This means that a borg drone would not even try to use his tubulles if they were working
Incorrect. Seven of Nine had only hid herself underneath a computer console. There was no smashing or any such event. Presumeably Borg built in sensors are at least on par with tricoders, although it would be inaccurate to assume all drones have the same level of optimization for scanning.so the fight is decided on strength , agillity and reflexes.
Another thing to consider is that borg have superior senses and would be difficult to surprise , the evidence is as follows , a group of droids could not detect a bunch of armed naboo and two jedi hiding behind a carved wooden wall and peering through the hangar door in episode one of STAR WARS , on the other hand Seven of Nine had a flashback nightmare of a borg drone smashing its way through the wall of the jefferies tube where her mother had hidden her when the Raven was caught by the borg.
I recommend some of you should check your cranial fuse panells as silliness like this indicates a partial brown out of the neural network
