I'm looking for a story where a dude his wife and his two kids get captured by aliens and brought to a different planet. Turns out the Earth is surrounded by a giant psionic containment field. And the second they're brought out of that containment field they functionally get creative mode because humans were basically weapons designed to kill gods but they were too dangerous so they got locked on Earth.

I remember an old HFY story where 'hand grenades' were being touted as a lunatics weapon. Until they figured out that humans are built to throw. But, I can't find it...

There's kobe, though it's the first comment that is a three sentence story on calling grenades a ritual suicide device.

Looking for a story where an alien visits Earth to find out how humans are so strong and assumes that recess where the kids play was a training ground.
