I don't know if it needs changing that much.  Even without the edge, you 
can still fire four shots an action.

Those shots would be at the following modifiers:  -2/-6; -2/-6
For three points, you get two fisted and the ability to make the following 
shots:  -2/-2; -2/-2
        (which isn't much of a penalty for someone with 5d12 Shootin' skill 
- and what gunslinger would have less?  :-)
For five more points, you get the ability to make the following shots: 
-0/-0; -0/-0

For 8 points (13 if you count the points into the skill), you gain the 
ability to shoot four shots a round.  Now, those 8 points come out of your 
available edges - requiring you to take 8 points of hindrances (or VotWW) 
and restricting the number of other edges you can buy.
Compare this to the arcane backgrounds like Huckster or Blessed.  For 3 
points (8 if you count the skill), you get 5 powers plus the ability to 
gain more powers for cheap.
