How do I do a wait(1) in a while true do loop without delaying the loop by 1 second?

I'm trying to wait 1 second then destroy an object, but it delays the loop by one second. I've tried to use the variable outside of the loop, but that doesn't work either.

note: i'm cloning a bullet shell locally

You can do this multiple ways, here is a couple...

while true do
    local part = Instance.new("Part)
    part.Parent = workspace

    game.Debris:AddItem(part, 1) -- Gets destroyed after 1 second
end

or

while true do
    local part = Instance.new("Part)
    part.Parent = workspace

    coroutine.wrap(function()
        wait(1)
        part:Destroy()
    end)()
end

I prefer the first example, but sometimes the second one is necessary for specific reasons.
