A paintball feeding apparatus includes a paintball reservoir, and a housing mounted under the paintball reservoir with an inlet opening communicating with the paintball reservoir such that paintballs can move from the paintball reservoir though the inlet opening. The housing defines an outlet opening at a front end thereof adapted to be connected to a paintball gun feed tube. An auger is rotatably mounted in the housing such that pockets are formed between the auger flights, the pockets configured to receive and maintain a paintball in each pocket. A drive is operative to rotate the auger to move paintballs out the outlet opening.
