If your field and local/state laws will allow it. Some states/towns can be picky about having to have a license to sell food.
Might start looking at doing yard work, that is always a good money getting job. Or be a paper boy/girl for your local newspaper.

Make something paintball related like a PVC gunstand. Go the cheap route and sell for $15. Pretty good price and everyone loves gun stands.
Ask for an allowance, that may work.

If that doesn't work out, there is always mowing lawns or washing windows.

Also working at the field. Wether it be the front office, reffing, filling bunkers or cleaning ip at the end of the day. Some fields will pay you in paint and entry fees for simple work.

Selling gun stands is a good idea, I'd buy one.

Ways to make money: Recycle, Sell old stuff, Make something and sell it (try making wooden chest sets people pay alot for those if they look good), try to get in with the field owners and buy paint at discounted price, then sell it for a little more, be creative with it.

It's pretty simple me and my friends do it. You just drive around and pretty much anything thrown out has something in it you can take apart t.vs and get copper and electric motors from them you can even pick up computer people throw out and scrap the hard drives then you can get copper and electric engines from that. Most of the time its not just straight up metal you're going to have to take things apart and extracting the good stuff from it. You just gta know what items have what in it and it's pretty fun to do.

I feel like the buying paint from the field at reduced priced then flipping it so you turn a few dollars would not be the best thing for the field and inevitably piss them off. Paint is where fields turn majority of there profit I thought.

Try asking if you can do small favors at fields. I know that my 15 year old sister can run the counter at my local field. It always helps to try to build up a good reputation at your field, get to know the employees, and be chivalrous when applicable. It won't feel like you're doing much, but the employees and field owner notice these kind of things. Trust me, guys like that at our local field get noticed by me. We like it a lot.
Also look around for yard work, shoveling jobs, a paper route, or dog walking/sitting for the neighborhood. At that age, I know you have to be a little creative to earn money. But worst case scenario, you just have to wait a couple years. You'll earn the money eventually.

just do what the 14 yr olds here do, ask mommy n daddy for money. when they say no, go break into cars or sell drugs
seriously tho....just get a part time job. almost every state will allow you to work. there will b time restrictions and a total weekly hours you have to abide by tho.
mcdonalds will hire pretty much anyone...

Do stuff around the house for money. Dishes, trash....basically anything that your parents won't want to do all the time, ask if you can do it for money.

we do something similar to this.
all you have to do is ask your local field. if you show interest, and work hard, the benefits can be very good

You can get a job. In fact you can get the best job there is. One that pays you under the table. You can rake in the money easily that way.
