An apparatus for releasably coupling a provided paintball hopper to a provided paintball marker. The apparatus includes a marker mount, a feed neck, a plurality of spheres, and a retaining sleeve. The marker mount includes an axial passage and a plurality of bores perpendicular to the passage. The feed neck includes an axial passage and a plurality of cavities. The retaining sleeve includes a plurality of voids. The marker mount for coupling to the paintball marker. The feed neck for coupling to the paintball hopper. Each one cavity is separate from any other cavity. Each bore includes a first end portion and a second end portion respectively. One sphere is moveably positioned in each bore. The feed neck slidably engages the marker mount. The retaining sleeve is biased in a locked position and rotationally movable to an unlocked position. In the unlocked position, each sphere partially protrudes from the first end portion of its respective bore into a respective void of the plurality of voids. In the locked position, each sphere protrudes from the second end portion of its respective bore into one cavity of the plurality cavities. A portion of each sphere substantially fills its respective cavity thereby holding the feed neck rotationally immobile with respect to the marker mount.
