One with each. I don't think Extra Attack has any effect on the rate at which a gun can be fired.

It's in the FAQ, bottom of the page.

Edited to add: Though if it has a ROF of 1 because it only holds one round, that'd be a different case altogether.

If you have RoF 1, then you can fire each gun once, end of story. Extra Attack with the Multi-Strike enhancement would let you divide RoF 2+ among multiple targets (GURPS Gun-Fu, p.15). There are also methods for increasing the RoF of single-action revolvers in Gun-Fu or High-Tech. If you really want to get crazy, there's Multi-Shot (GURPS Power-Ups1: Imbuements, p.9), which will increase your RoF, but is beyond cinematic and into the supernatural.

As mentioned by others; you can only make two attacks unless you also have 'multi-strike'.

Extra-attack without multi-strike represents fantastic coordination and a brain wired to track different parts of the body separately rather then fantastic speed- your limbs don't move any faster and take just as much brain power to operate.

You still have one attack left however, that you could use to kick, or headbutt, or even slam another opponent who happens to be in those ranges.

If the guns have RoF 2 and at least one of your levels of Extra Attack has the Multistrike enhancement, yes. There wouldn't be any penalties relating to the multiple attacks. You would attack twice with one of your guns (with RoF 1 in each attack) and once with the other. The three attacks would be basically independent, unless you have something like one of your guns malfunctioning come up.

You would get 4 shots, 2 from each gun.

You could do this even without Extra Attack but then you would be taking Dual Weapon Attack penalties. As noted DWA is not cinematic with pistols. It's just prohibitively dificult for ordinary users.

What you get for buying the first level of Extra Attack is the ability to make one attack with two different limbs either ranged or melee without any penalties that apply to normal humans.

I think but am not quite sure that Extra Attack disposes of the off-hand penalty that normally requiores Ambidexterity or the appropriate Technique.

If your pistols were ROF3 you'd get 3 shots from each of them but this is a Rapid Fire situation. One attack with a weapon greater than ROF1 gets you a number of shots equal to that ROF.

ok. i know how rof works but i wont to use my extra atks to be able to get off as many shots as possible with the least amount of penaltys. so he i have 3 atks total ( 2 extra atks) and i have a one gun with a rof 3 than i can get off 3 shots without any added penaltys other than rang, size mod, and speed of target?

Sure, but you aren't penalized for firing multiple shots with one attack anyway. I suppose if the rcl stat is bad enough it'd make more sense to use the shots as multiple attacks, but otherwise I'm just not seeing the point.

For that matter, if you're firing enough shots with one attack, you actually get a bonus to hit.
