Ranged weapon macro

Hey.
So...I was screwing around with macros for different reasons. Made one that uses heroic throw if I press click it, uses my ranged weapon if right click it. This is what it looks like:
/#showtooltip
/cast Heroic Throw
/cast Throw
In this case, my weapon is a throwing axe, or something. Anyway, since I now have another weapon (a gun), I wanted to change it.
The thing is, I have two different weapons for tanking and damage dealing. And since I keep changing things (also, I'm lazy), I was wondering if there was a way to make it so that I could still use heroic throw as normal with one button click, but for the right click, to have it use whatever ranged weapon I had. If I had a throwing knife, use that; if I have a bow, use that, etc.
I'm not real clear on how to set that up. I imagine it might have something to do with that slot 18 thing, but...yeah. I'm just not sure.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

You're a little vague... Are you looking for something to switch your weapon for you and use it, or simply prevent you from trying to heroic throw with a gun?
The first macro would look something like this (note: I have no idea if the gcd will kill it or not since I don't play a warrior):
/equip Throwing Weapon; Normal Gun
/cast Heroic Throw; Throw; Shoot
If you're just looking to prevent heroic throw from firing if you can't use it, you'd just use the second line.
The equip line will throw your throwing weapon on if you don't have it on and you're trying to use heroic throw, and put your gun on if you hold down a modifier key.

Just want to answer before I try this, to explain what I'm talking about.
Tank set - ranged weapon is a throwing axe.
Damage set - ranged weapon is a gun.
If I switch between gear sets, my ranged weapon changes. I was really wondering if there is a command, or something, that has you just use the ranged slot. The reason being that if there isn't, I need to change my initial macro back and forth between /shoot and /throw. It's not a lot of work, but it's annoying to have to keep doing it.
The heroic throw isn't even an issue. It's just me wondering if there's just a command to use your ranged weapon in general. /attack starts attacks, /throw will cast throw, /shoot will cast shoot...I was just wondering if there was some kind of ranged command. Something more general, like /useequipslot 18, or something.
Thanks to all for the responses, though.

It's equipped not worn, and that macro won't function if he has a gun equipped.
Doing like this makes it completely generic:
/cast Shoot; Throw; Heroic Throw
edit:
I stand corrected, it appears worn is indeed an alias for equipped... Either way /cast Shoot; Throw; Heroic Throw is more 'correct'

/cast Shoot; Throw; Heroic Throw
Worked like a charm.
Well, guns instead of bows. But, yeah.
Thanks, guys. That was such an annoying thing to have to deal with.
