Macro to roll NPC ammunition and put it into a token bar

I'm looking for a macro to roll ammunition for 5e Monsters. The MM says monsters typically have 2d4 thrown weapons or 2d10 ranged ammunition on them. I want a macro that asks Ranged or Thrown and then rolls the appropriate dice and inputs the number into one of the token bars. Is this possible?

Macros can only print to chat, they can't alter anything on the character sheet or token. So there's no way to do the final  bit: input to a token bar. You have to do that manually. As always, Pro users can use API scripts to bypass this limitation.
