is there a way to install a weapon as a launcher even if it is a single-ammo or ammo-less weapon? i mean through a dockscreen and without modifying the original weapon.

EDIT: to be clear, by "launcher" i mean as in the place where a missile launcher is placed and responding to the shift key instead of ctrl or space.

The launcher get assigned from the weapon description, unfortunately so the only way I know is to:

Add launcher="true" to the weapon description. You can install any kind of weapon damage type there, and if you have a cannon it can fire a variety of ammo. I like the concept of switching ammo, so I have used the launcher for all kinds of cannon styles.
