The Lorenz rifle, a notable firearm used during the American Civil War, was designed by Austrian arms designer Johann Nikolaus von Dreyse. It was based on the Dreyse needle gun, which was one of the first breech-loading rifles. The Lorenz rifle was produced in large numbers by the Austrian government and later supplied to the Confederate army in the United States. Its design and functionality contributed to its effectiveness in the conflict.

What is a common description of a fire fight in a battle in the US Civil War?

A "firefight" is a term that began in usage in 1896 well after the civil war, but it's meaning may apply to the methods of skirmish used in the civil war. Since the Remington repeater rifle was invented during the civil war rapid fire was a new battle tactic. So, I am not sure that a civil war description can be given of what we would consider a modern firefight.
