just put a steel plate or something over that vent hole. Of course then it wouldn't vent properly. In that case you would just create a jagged path so a missile could not navigate down it, but still allow it to vent.

a holodeck can serve as a replicator and much, much more. Why not get the superior version?

Holodeck's can't serve as replicators. Stuff produced in a holodeck only exists in a holodeck. You can't survive off holodeck food for example because, molecularly, it's not real. It only passes for real.

then how was Captain Picard able to use a Tommy gun in order to kill the Borg (after taking the safety precautions off). They aren't illusions, they are very real.

Teleporters (or farcasters as in Dan Simmons' Hyperion) would be too.
