Trades are often counted twice so real vol is probably half of stated.

Someone sells their shares at the bid and they are bought by the MMs and counted in the vol.

Someone buys shares from the MMs and the shares are counted in the Vol again.

Every time a share changes hands it is counted in the Vol.

If the MMs aren't hoarding shares but are turning them over as fast as they acquire them then they are probably being counted twice. And that doesn't even include the shares traded between MMs.

So don't necessarily trust the Volume number.
