If you just train this Fajin drill, how long do you think that you can develop your Fajin?
- 1 month?
- 3 months?
- 6 months?

The best tai chi practitioner and fighter I have known did no special exercises to cultivate fa Jing but could manifest it when needed in any circumstances
Most of what people show as fa Jing is just karate style Kime
I will be brave to boast that during my karate heydays my Kime expression looked more awesom than the two Fajin clips posted in the thread.....
I’m not experienced enough in IMA to feel comfortable making a comparison, but I’ve been watching videos of old-school Okinawan karate masters and, more than once, have been !!!
Definitely doesn’t look like what I was doing when took karate as a kid.

Not with little effort, but with my whole body in focus. Whether or not I have an object in my hand is irrelevant (though a weapon only makes it worse for the receiver).

Of course if one is talented one get things rather quick. On the other hand it could be the result of all the different previous MA training one have done which by trial and errors later made it easy to get it clear when then the last teacher demonstrated/explained/taught it ?
