Is there any way to change the weapon group of a weapon.

yes! you can change what weapons groupings are with the arrow keys and the right ctrl key. there is a video explaining this as well Here. I'd also suggest you watch the other videos on this page.

No need to watch a 5 minute video IMO (i'm an impatient person), all you need is your arrow keys and the right CTRL key:
  • select the weapon with up/down arrow
  • select the group with left/right arrow
  • activate/deactivate that selection with RCTRL

Just keep in mind that the left mouse button by default fires the selected weapon group, not the 1st group (so select the 1st weapon group when finished setting them up :huh:)!

You can set your key bindings as well. For some reason my key bindings for Weapon Group 1 was blank. So I bound it to my left click. group 2 is left click, 3 is a side mouse button, and there's a whole bunch of other things bound to my mouse like artilery strikes, jump jets, and so on. Don't be shy to personalize the bindings to how you like to play. :D

they need to give users the option to set weapon groups in the mechlab and not when you are in training grounds or in a match

This is a planned feature to be included with user interface 2.0 when they release the new in-game menus, MechLab, and all that jazz :D
