Zap's real name is Rafael J. Melendez, and his rank is that of corporal E-4. Zap was born in New York City.
Zap is the team specialist in armor-piercing and anti-tank weapons but also functions as demolitions man. He has received advanced infantry training, and specialized education in engineer school and ordinance school. Zap is a qualified expert with the M-14, M-16, M1911A1 Auto Pistol, M79 grenade launcher, M-72 LAW rocket, XM-17A TOW missile, and the XM-47 Dragon missile.
Zap is considered the fun loving type, but he's cool under fire. Zap is also a somewhat capable helicopter pilot. A running joke is that he is always being reminded it is like riding a bicycle. Zap then reminds people he used to fall off his bike all the time.
