Going by that,it seems to me that if you have an Extra Attack and Dual-Weapon Attack bought up to full, you should be able to attack three times, at 0/0/0 (assuming you've bought off the off-hand penalty somehow as well).
yes, you could potentialy attack three times if you have 3 pistols, one per hand. But an human has 2 hands, so 2 pistols. But, if you are firing at point blank (aka, C range) you can: fire with first pistol, fire with second pistol (dual weapon attack) and kick with extra attack. Or headbutt him, or elbow strike him..
The number one rule is always: one attack per limb. So, even if you can mix extra attack with DWA, you can't because with either extra attack or DWA you have already used that particular limb.

And for the melee fight is the same. You can use DWA to attack with secondary limb and use extra attack to attack with "another" limb. So, if you are fighting with rapier and main-gauche, you can't extra attack and DWA attack for 2 times with rapier and one with main-gauche, nor 1 time with rapier and 2 with main-gauche. Still, you can one with rapier, one with main-gauche and one with kick/head/teeth/whatever.

If you have multistrike, you can use one limb 2 times, but with "gun", i suppose you still can't do it, because of rate of fire: rof should suppose to be the mechanical limit of the weapon.
